Another poster recently mentioned that his MGMAT scores became skewed after taking multiple tests and consistently scoring high, since there are a limited number of 700+ questions. Does anyone else have any additional information on that?

My quant scores were significantly lower when I started studying, so I'm not worried about running out of difficult questions in that section. However, my verbal has always been high. I scored in the 93rd percentile on my first diagnostic MGMAT CAT. Because of that, I haven't put much effort into studying for verbal, but now I'm worried that as I continue to take MGMAT practice tests, my scores will lose accuracy.

I know that I should take all scores from test prep companies with a grain of salt, but any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Whoa !!! Buddy, its time to take a GMATPrep test as early as possible. MGMAT tests are good for quant/CR/SC. I found RCs to be way too different from GMAT style RCs. My MGMAT RC accuracy is less than 30% while GMATPrep RC accuracy is more than 90%, I hardly made any mistakes in GMATprep RCs. By the way, I never crossed 640 in my MGMAT tests. Check this link.

I took a GMATPrep test two weeks ago. I'm just trying to figure out whether my scores will be skewed once I've taken multiple tests from MGMAT.
