how close are kaplan and manhattan CAT's to the real GMAT

manhattan-590(quantitative 42,verbal 31)
kaplan-620(quantitative 40,verbal 37)
kaplan-580(quantitative 37,verbal 25)..

I did miss out on 2 questions in math in the kaplan CAT where i scored 580..

Can anybody say...how can i approximately expect in the real test??

All the practice tests you are taking for your preparation have their share of problems and they vary significantly from one another in terms of difficulty of questions, scoring algorithms etc. In my opinion, please rely only on the GMATPrep CATs to assess your scoring level. You have not stated that you have taken the GMATPrep tests yet, so I will strongly suggest you to take at least one of them and see where you stand. The questions and the scores will be pretty close to what you may expect in the real test.

You may refer to this link where I have posted a detailed explanation of my experience with all the practice tests including the GMATPrep tests and their relevance to the real test. https://www.beatthegmat.com/my-debrief-f ... 54581.html
