I took three MGMAT test. The maximum score i could reach in quants is Q45 (Q42, Q44, Q45). But i scored Q50 in GMAT test prep practise test. For me, all the PS and DS questions in OG is very easy to solve. I recently bought additional questions from GMAT test prep. For hard DS questions, my accuracy is more than 80% and for PS, my accuracy is 70%. I was able to solve most of the questions within 2 to 2.30 minutes.

I found OG questions and GMAT test prep questions are much more easier to solve than MGMAT quants questions. I dont know why my Q performace is very low in MGMAT. I feel even the verbiage used in MGMAT quants questions are different from GMAT test prep.

I am planning to take GMAT by mid of july. I really concerened about my quants performance.

Should i consider the MGMAT Q score or should i ignore? Please advise.

MGMAT's tests are good, but the official GMATPrep tests are the best tools for evaluating your skills. I suggest that you take another GMATPrep test to see how that score compares.
Alternatively, you can use GMATFocus, the GMAC's official computer adaptive test that assesses your quant skills AND identifies your areas of weakness: https://www.mba.com/store/store-catalog/ ... tool.aspx?

Thanks Brent. I will take the another GMAT Prep test. If the score is not consistent with the GMAT prep test 1, i will purchase the GMAT focus.
