Today I took Practice test of Princeton review. I scored 50Q,31V - 650 . The weird thing is that I answer 32 out of 41 correctly and still my score came as 31V; I've score 35V by correctly answering only 23 or 21 question on other exam. That thing just throw me back. I'm not even sure about how close was this test to the real GMAT, as I was seeing comparatively very easy question on Quant section also. Can someone tell me why is there is so much of discrepancy ?

I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.

I'm not entirely sure how the Princeton Review test works, but if it's computer adaptive (like the official GMAT), then your scores are not based on how many questions you answer correctly; they're based on the level of difficulty of the questions you answer correctly.

"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."
