I took my first practice test last week. It was the GMATprep software. I scored a 710 (48 math, 41 verbal). I just took my first princeston review test today and scored a 640 (43 math, 35 verbal). Basically my question is what gives? On the GMAT prep I got 11 math questions wrong (including the first question!) on Princeston I only got 5 math questions wrong. It felt like the GMAT prep software would vary the difficulty of the questions a lot more to dial in on where you should be, princeston the questions just stayed easy even as I was getting them all right. What are peoples thoughts on this? Which score should I view as representative? Are the princeston tests a little different, so after doing them a few times, my score should move up?
What are peoples thoughts.
Thanks,
Andrew

If there's one thing I've learned, nothing and I mean NOTHING is comparable to the GEMATPrep. I took the PR recently and scored a 690. But I finished both sections in under 2 hours and only had about 12 wrong total. I think the PR questions are easier, but the scoring is tough. Conversely, I recently took a manhattan gmat exam and it kicked my butt (620). The questions are very tough, but the scoring is fairer. My most recent GMATPrep score is 700 and was both tough but fair.
So again, I truly believe nothing comes close to emulating the real GMAT as the GMATPrep does.

Yeah, for me the GMATprep was tough, but in the end my score was good. Princeton didn't feel like they were giving me tough math questions at all and my score was lower despite getting way more right than on GMATprep. The princeton verbal I was just tired, drained and lazy on, so I can't really compare or evaluate my score there. I didn't finish the last question even.
I think I am saving the questions from the offical gmat guide for the week before the test. I really think they are much more accurate. I did the ones from the verbal and quant offical books already. I also downloaded the old Powerprep software. Do you think that is different enough from the GMATprep to warrent using it?
