I just completed the kaplan online practice test 1 (kaplan GMAT premier live), and scored 660. How good is this? and how does this score resemble the actual GMAT? What can I expect?
My score details are as follows:
Overall: 660 (86 Percentile)
Quantitative : 46 (3 incorrect)(managed to spare 30 min)
Quantitative Percentile: 96
Verbal: 37 (13 incorrect out of 41)(managed to spare 10 min)
Verbal Percentile: 84
I got 13 wrong answers in verbal part, but still the verbal score is 37. Is that a correct score?
Am i in good shape to go for real exam?

A 660 is a pretty good score, but to really assess your score you should take the GMAT Prep Exam from the official website, since the GMAT Prep uses the same scoring algorithm.
The number of questions right or wrong is less important than the score range of the questions you got wrong.

Assuming that you have studied and prepared adequately for the exam, it seems that you're in decent shape. However, I do agree with whiplash2411. The best predictor of your actual performance is the GMATPrep. It's also the best test preparation, in terms of CAT practice.
And make sure to take the test under the same conditions as the real thing. That means a computer desk and chair, timed conditions with breaks, a quiet atmosphere, and (ideally) use a test simulation booklet and pen. I would even recommend wearing what you will have on during the actual test! Practice tests in a t-shirt, shorts, and no shoes, for instance, is a little too comfortable.
From what I understand, though, the verbal score decreases rather quickly. If you answer incorrectly the experimental questions, then no big deal. However, I don't think that test prep companies (Manhattan, Kaplan, Princeton, etc.) incorporate experimental questions into their CAT simulations. Again, though, the previous post makes a good point about the algorithm.
