I have a question regarding the scale conversion in Kaplan practice tests. Following is the raw section score.
Verbal : 39
Quant : 49
Overall 680
I am slightly confused about the overall score. The previous Kaplan practice test that I took had the following score
Verbal : 35
Quant : 50
Overall : 710
I just wanted to ask the Kaplan team and the forum as to which score is the correct one. One of these surely has to be off.

Hi bilalnabi24,
Strictly-speaking, I don't think that either of those sets of Scaled Scores would produce the same overall score result on the Official GMAT that you received on these Kaplan CATs (and the Q49/V39 would net you a higher score on Test Day than a Q50/V35). That having been said, the 680 and 710 are "close enough" to realistic to say that you performed well on both of those CATs.
To take everything a step further though, the next question is to ask if you took these CATs in a realistic fashion? Did you take the ENTIRE CAT (including the Essay and IR sections)? Did you do so under Test-like conditions and at the same time of day as your Official GMAT? The more you deviate from a realistic, test-like experience, the higher the possibility of an "inflated", unrealistic score.
How long have you been studying?
What resources have you been using?
When is your Official Test Date?
