I took the GMAT on 5/24/10 and scored a 520 Q29 V32. I was very upset when my score popped up on the screen. I took the Veritas Prep course which I found to be useful because I was a GMAT newbie walking into the class. I had never cracked a book open and didn't know what to expect in terms of the class so it was helpful in getting some of the fundamentals down. In addition to doing all the problems in the Veritas workbook I did all the questions in the OG cover to cover as well as the Verbal supplement.
I took a total of about 8 CATS including the 2 GMAT Prep tests. The first GMAT Prep I took I scored a 610 Q38 V36. The last one I took I was at a 650 Q42 V38. I was happy to see the improvement in my score and was feeling more confident about the test. Although my goal was to get at least a 700, I felt the need to have a go at the test because I had been studying for quite a while and just wanted to get it out of my system.
Everything I've read says that the GMAT Prep is a pretty accurate reflection of how you'll do on the actual test but it obviously wasn't the case for me. I don't have a history of testing anxiety and I didn't feel overly anxious while I was taking the test. I did feel the actual test questions were more challenging than the practice tests but I thought it was because I was doing well. Just to make sure I wasn't going crazy I took a test yesterday on which I scored a 640 Q40 V37, so I'm really at a loss here.
Has anyone experienced this? Any feedback would be helpful as I go back to studying. thanks

I've read numerous stories of students saying that their practice test scores was higher than their gmat score, thus leads me to believe that the practice tests scores regardless of who's giving them are not an approximate indicator of what one does on the actual test.
Because you take a course doesn't mean your going to be successful on the test. Your success comes from what you do outside of the course.
Quality over quantity! Because you expose yourself to hundreds of OG problems doesn't mean your going to be successful on the exam.
How long did you study for your first exam?

Did you have to guess at a lot of questions?
From my experience, I have realized that if I want a 700 on the real exam I need to be scoring a 750 on the GMAT Prep. Other people's scores are spot on, but not for me. Try taking the free Knewton exam. I took the free Knewton exam and the scores matched up exactly, up to the verbal and quant breakdown. And, of course for some people, the scores didn't match.
