Hi All,
My quant is where it needs to be in 49-50q range on the last 3 exams but my verbal has "plateaued" as they say. I will not bother you with asking questions about specific strategies as this has been widely covered. But, I am hoping to get some input on a discrepancy I found when i practice OG13 questions and take practice Kaplan exams.. My first exam after studying was a V37 on MGMAT, now I am getting V31-33 on last 3 Kaplan Practice exams. I am taking the test in 3 weeks and want to do everything I can to improve my score.
One odd thing I found is that after studying for SC and CR during the week, I take timed practice OG13 questions on which I get 85-90% right. Timing conditions are strictly as they should be (1.15min for SC and 2min for CR) and I did not see the questions before. My feeling at this time is -- "Awesome, I am about to own this and get that 49q 39v that I want!!!"
Then, when I took my last 3 Kaplan exams, I get dreadful verbal scores!!! ...v33, v31, v32, respectfully. Has anyone else come across the same scenario? Is my brain that fried after Quant, verbal and IR??? I feel fine during the exam, but the questions seem a little harder.
My goal for the next 3 weeks is to review Souvik101990's guidance (How to improve from v-30 to v-40 post) and adjust my Verbal strategy accordingly. I want to get a V39 or better!!!
Side Notes:
1. I am going to take the Gmat Prep exam next week to see how I fare on it. I took the 2 free ones when I first started studying and will shell out the 40 buks for 2 additional official exams.
2. I hate the MGMAT Prep Exam software. It is so much easier to review problems on Kaplan platform
Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

I'd say not to worry much about the discrepancy between your results from different sources.
Focus on learning from your mistakes.
While some questions may not be as realistic as what you might see on the actual test - in terms of content, most things are fair game on the test. So rather than worry about how one test was different from another - if you actually learn from every mistake -- then you will be that much more prepared for the real thing.
There have been reports of some doing better on source A than source B -- and vice versa. Oftentimes, there's no clear pattern -- though OG and GMATPrep are generally agreed to be the best sources since they are created by the test makers themselves. But there's no guarantee that everything from OG and GMATPrep will appear on the actual test. So be prepared --- worry less about performance discrepancy and focus on learning from your mistakes. If you make sure you don't make the same mistakes on the real thing, you will be that much better off.
