GMAT Prep 1

Gave GMAT prep 1 today:
740 QA: 51(1 incorrect) V : 38( 9 incorrect )[ was expecting more for just 9 incorrects ]

Had given Kaplan 6 two days back:
750 QA : 55 ( 0 incorrect ) V : 42 ( 13 incorrect )

9 incorrect is the minimum i have touched ever.
Looks like its gonna be real tough to reach 40+.
