Hi apoorv601,
It looks like you posted this in a couple of spots, so I've pasted my prior post here:
The scoring algorithm on the Official GMAT is far more complicated than most people realize. It takes into account a number of different factors, including the relative difficulty of the question, whether you were expected to get it correct or not, the placement of the question, what's going on "around it", the "strings" of correct and incorrect answers, whether the question even counts or not (some questions are "experimental" and are worth 0), if you leave questions unanswered and incur a penalty, etc. As such, you shouldn't be spending time trying to figure it all out. You'd be better served working on building up your skills.
Since that algorithm is proprietary, no GMAT company has an exact match for it, thus CAT scores can vary a bit based on the 'biases' involved in their respective designs. Some are known to be more accurate, others less so.
With these CATs, did you take the ENTIRE CAT each time (including the Essay and IR sections)?
Have you taken any of the GMAC CATs?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
