Hello! I have a few questions...
I have not yet taken the official GMAT practice tests as I'm saving them until I feel more ready, but I have taken the Princeton and Veritas tests and I'm wondering about their accuracy because I missed WAY more problems on Veritas but got a higher score.
Princeton- 690 (Q43 with 26/31 correct, V43 with 32/36 correct) This score should first of all I think be 700 according to the GMAT score charts, but this just seems way too low given my high accuracy. HOWEVER, I did stupidly miss the first questions on BOTH of the sections. How much did missing the first question really impact my score if I still got such high accuracy?
Veritas- 700 (Q46 with 17/31 correct, V40 with 29/36 correct) This test was much more difficult I felt, and I missed farrrr more questions, but got a much higher quant score. Even though the scores are pretty much the same, the vast variances in the accuracy of my scoring makes me so confused.
So, I have a few questions. From people who have taken these practice tests and also the real thing, how accurate were these practices? Do my scores sound right given the percent of questions correct? Also, how much does missing the first question REALLY impact my score if I got so many right after that?
Thank you!

None is like the official test. But other tests may be slightly tougher to get trained on more stressful ones.
The general idea among all test developers is that easy questions are more penalized if answered incorrectly.
So I can guess that most your mistakes in veritas test were hard ones.
At the end, both tests (Veritas and Princeton) graded you similarly.
I recently took one official GMAT test and got Q50 (8 wrong) and V37 (14 wrong)

farbahar - Welcome to GMAT Club!
Veritas Prep practice tests are good and the accuracy of score prediction is quite strong. That said, no practice tests come close to the official tests offered by GMAT Prep. Most importantly, the number of incorrect questions has no bearing on your sectional raw scores. You just need to make sure to avoid 3+ incorrect questions in a row, to not get easy questions wrong, and to not miss any questions at the end of the test. All the best.
