I registered for the GMAT and downloaded Powerprep. I took the first full test and scored 610. Fine and dandy. Studied some more and got 660 on the second one. OK so far.
Then I took the first CAT on the Kaplan 2004 prep book's CD. I got 520! I think it's quite a drop from 85th percentile (660) to 50th percentile (520).
I'm just wondering if there is something I should know about Powerprep vs. Kaplan and which (if either) is an accurate predicter of final results. I've read multiple times that the paper tests in books are not because they're not adaptive...I don't know if the CATs in Powerprep and/or Kaplan are.
I'm not shooting for an 800...something over 600 would be nice though
Thanks,

Its pretty normal.
We have a GMAT Score estimator that might give you a idea of what your eventual score might be. Note that this is an estimate and it is assumed that you took your practice tests under actual test conditions.

Don't worry about the Kaplan score...they are usually about 100 points lower than the Powerprep and Princeton Review scores you'll get in practice. It's fine to use them for practice, but ignore the scores. Add the PR CD to your arsenal and you'll get another 5 tests and more realistic tests.
