What does it mean if you score pretty high on a Kaplan CAT, but lower on a GMATPrep? I thought the Kaplan CAT scaled down their score.

GMATPrep is the best indicator of your actual score. It is generally observed that Kaplan scores are lesser than the actual scores. If I were you I would give more importance to the GMATprep score.

Yes, Kaplan scales down the scores, but I beleive that some of the problems are tougher than what they are in GMAT Prep. I used to score decenlty on Kaplan, but used to get thrown off by easier problems. THIS CAN HAPPEN! So balance it out and practice both easy and hard problems.

"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."
