My scores while taking the Kaplan Prep course:

Diagnostic: 440
Kaplan CAT 1: 520
Kaplan CAT 2: 540
Ultimate Practice Tes: 530

Actual GMAT score: 440 :evil:

Everyone always says to add about 70 points to your Kaplan score to estimate what your gmat might be. Well Im here to tell you that you should subtract those 70 points instead of adding. KAPLAN is crap.

Has anyone else had similar experiences?

Are these the Kaplan CATs from Kaplan 800? Do you know if Kaplan gives CAT with Kaplan 800?
