I have to echo Nick_mask on this one. Talk about a blow to one's confidence! The Kaplan practice tests (not the practice GMAT) really took the wind out of my sails. Not only are they exceptionally fast paced, but I only averaged slightly over 50% correct on the problem solving 1-4 and DS 1&2 tests. I did not finish any of them. I think that after months of studying, I should have done much better. Adding salt to my wounds, I scored less than 50% on the DS practice test in the Kaplan 2011 book. Geesh.... maybe I should look more towards pushing a broom at B-school than actually attending!

Kaplan CD, the PS I finished with 8 correct out of 12 in a very relaxed manner, drinking tea It's the cumbersome solution for word problems which makes one to match answer choices A-E accurately. I must say Kaplan PS worth only it's pacing for it has very easy problems in its CAT mode after the series of questions 25-27... (quantitative)
