gmat focus v.s. manhattan gmat

I have been focusing my math efforts on manhattan gmat. I have been consistently scoring 42-44 on th equant sections of the manhattan gmat. Thier studies have made og and kaplan advanced questions considerably easier for me to tackle. However, I took the gmat focus 25 question bank today and scored a 31-39 range. The questions had a slightly different flavor but generally the same I guess. Aside from being a bit nervous, I dont see how my scores could have dropped. Especially coming from manhattan gmat math, which is generally tougher. ANy ideas?

your performance will change depending on the question bank, who wrote the questions, how you are performing that day, how focused you are, what format the questions come in (e.g. a set of 15 questions or a set of 40 or a set of 20 on paper). you spend an awfully large amount of time focusing on every single drop, uptick, and/or adjustment of your scores resilient. in fact, i will repeat what i've mentioned to you before: don't lose sight of the forest by focusing on the tree. there are simply too many factors for anyone on this board to give you a reason for why you saw the score drop - only you can figure that out.
