Just do a lot of practice for it. Get a good overall review guide for the GMAT itself (I used Princeton Review, Cracking the GMAT, and would definitely recommend it), and be absolutely sure you use the Official Guide as well. It has a lot of practice questions. There's a separate official math workbook too.

And of course take the GMATPrep tests. They're free from www.mba.com.

I would also add that it might be helpful to put together a study strategy, to ensure that your preparation is as effective as it can be.

Take a look at my blog: http://beatthegmat.blogspot.com

I recommend using the study strategy featured on my blog as a starting point for developing your own strategy.

Best of luck!

I'm no authority on difficulty level, but it was my impression that Kaplan Verbal questions are usually harder than what you find on the real GMAT, OG. 99% seems impressive.

I understand your confusion though. If you're doing that well on Kaplan, I would expect you to be nailing the OG questions as well.
