I would give more importance to GMAT prep and would suggest you consider Powerprep only for additional practice. Powerprep scores are not good indicators of the GMAT scores.

Hi Alex,
PowerPrep uses the old algorithm.. GMATPrep uses the latest algorithm

Stop worrying about it, seriously. The Powerprep tests are too old to be a reliable score indicator, regardless of the update to the scoring algorithm. It is not worth spending mental energy on figuring out that score when you can devote your time and energy to continuing your GMAT prep. Move on!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
