This is in regards to the quant portion: I took GMATPrep CAT (17 wrong) which gave raw score of 36 and took MGMAT (16 wrong) which gave a raw score of 46.

How does this make sense...please advise. thank you

There are two things involved:

a) The scoring pattern is designed to identify the level at which you are able to consistently perform well. Hence the number of questions you got wrong will not determine your score in proportional manner. You may get 10 wrong and get a 49 or a 39. All depends on the difficulty level of the questions you get consistently correct

b) The GMAT prep and MGMAT uses different scoring algorithms. The GMAT prep test reasonably helps to predict the actual test score. Any ways you cannot compare two scores from any two different tests.

Hope this clears it up
