Friends - I scored 690 in ManhattanGMAT and 3 days later scored 660 in GmatPrep 2

MGMAT - 690 Verbal 36 ( 17 wrong ) / Math - 48

GPREP2- 660 Verbal 30 ( 16 wrong ) / Math - 50

With this big drop in my Verbal in GPREP can someone confirm if there are trial questions in GPREP software ?

I also believe that MGMAT is HARDER than actual GMAT or GPERP?

Are you asking whether the drop could be due to experimental questions on GMAT prep's scoring? Perhaps this could be factoring in, but it's unclear how it affects results.

With regard to your latest GMAT prep performance, I would take it with a grain of salt. Drops like the one you experience happen. Instead of focusing on this one test result, look holistically at the practice tests you've taken over time. Hopefully your scores have been trending upward and you have been learning over time.

Flukes happen. Thoroughly examine the questions you got wrong on your latest test, and then focus on kicking button the real deal!

Good luck,

Thanks Eric - IMO GPREP does NOT have experimental questions and therefore all incorrect questions were accounted for the low verbal score.
