My Official GMAT is on 24th November and I am shattered to see my MGMAT mock score of 580 (Q38;V32) today. What's disturbing is the fact that although I think I really have good quant skills (scored a Q49 in my last official fresh mba.com mock), I just don't seem to score highly in the quant section of MGMAT. In my last two MGAMT quant mocks I scored Q39 and Q38 (today). Also, I haven't been able to score even a 600 on MGMAT CATs so far. I am just baffled and annoyed. I think I have all the necessary knowledge, skills, and timing strategies in my pocket. I have been preparing for the GMAT for the last nine months, and I feel pretty comfortable about my Quant skills. What possibly could be the reason then for my low MGMAT scores, overall and in quant? I have heard MGMAT quant is harder than the real GMAT quant, but I don't know how I can interpret a Q38-39. I scored a Q42 on the quant section of GMATCLUB CAT, which is also considered to be pretty difficult.
I am regularly solving GMATPREP QUANT REVIEW questions, and in the last 100 questions, my overall accuracy is exactly 83% (93% on Easy, almost 80% on Medium, and 74% on HARD). I do sets of 20 questions, and regularly manage to do them in around 40 minutes - reflecting that my accuracy doesn't have a timing bias.
Why then I am not scoring highly on MGMAT is making me nuts. Please help me make sense of my situation.

Official tests use real test questions and the real scoring algorithm. They're identical to the real test. Company tests use neither real questions nor the real algorithm. So there's really no reason to trust scores from any tests besides official ones, and I wouldn't worry at all about anomalous prep company scores. Many times, my students have had very different scores on prep co tests and on official tests, and it's the official test score that is always the much better predictor.
If you do want a more accurate assessment of your current level, I'd suggest taking another official test. A single test score is subject to variance -- a Q50-level test taker will get a Q49 sometimes by bad luck, and a Q47-level test taker will sometimes get a Q49 by good luck. If you took a second official test, and averaged your scores, that would give you a good idea of what to expect on test day. Good luck!
