could someone tell me why the kaplan cats are insanely difficult? when i do the 800 score cats or the gmat paper tests from arco, i finish the math section in under an hour. But with Kaplan, I always run out of time around the 30th question, also my scores are horrible ( averaging 530 in kaplan ) and 700+ in everything else ( 640 in pp1)
whats is going on ? Also all of a sudden, my stong points have become my weak points and vice versa. I used to be good at Problem solving but bad at DS, now less than a week before my exam, the situation has reversed. PLEASE HELP , im ready to tear my hair out.

Karankaul,
Take it easy with emphasizing the Kaplan CAT scores. They are renowned to be much more difficult tests than the real deal. It's been awhile since I've taken one, but I do recall that its problems were much more demanding. From reading feedback on this site, people who score 700+'s on the real GMAT were getting 500-650 scores on these tests. The consensus seems to be that the PowerPrep tests are the most accurate scoring bar (please note the word "most"). It may help to view the Kaplan CAT's as hard-as-hell boot camps that will test your stress management, guessing, and time management skills. That's how I will view them once I finish them.
