After taking all 6 MGMAT CATS, and never scoring above the 70th percentile (in the quant section) on a single one, I decided to take the Veritas Prep free GMAT CAT today. It was ridiculously easy. Based on the OG questions I've gone over, along with the MGMAT CATs I've completed, my feeling is the Veritas quant CAT is nothing like the real test. I finished the Veritas quant with 11 minutes to spare, even though on my last 6 tests (MGMAT and GMAT PREP), I finished with mere seconds (at best) to spare.

Moreover, Veritas said I scored a 46 quant, when I only missed 6 questions on the entire 37 question test. Why would the score be so low if it was, indeed, adapting to my ability?

For everyone reading this, don't waste your time with the Veritas CAT, it is not indicative of the score you'll receive. Use MGMAT.

Veritas CAT Quant vs. MGMAT CAT Quant

I definitely agree with you. I have taken the MGMAT free exam and the Veritas free exam so far and found the Veritas math to be significantly easier. It really makes me wonder how adaptive the Veritas test actually is. I had a stretch of 26 consecutive correct answers but I did not feel the questions were becoming much more difficult.

MGMAT Quant - 19 right, 18 wrong - 44 Quant
MGMAT Verbal - 26 right, 15 wrong - 39 Verbal
MGMAT Overall - 690

Veritas Quant - 32 right, 5 wrong - 48 Quant
Veritas Verbal - 30 right, 11 wrong - 37 Verbal
Veritas Overall - 670
