Small progress is still progress! Stay Motivated!

If I were you, I wouldn't make any conclusions about your progress based on the results of your second practice test.

At the moment, you're comparing apples and oranges. At best, you're comparing 2 different kinds of apples. On one hand, you have the official GMAT practice test (GMATPrep), which uses official GMAT questions and the official GMAT scoring algorithm. Also keep in mind that the test-makers (GMAC) collect a lot of data on every question, and every question has been asked in a formal testing environment, so that the well-prepared test-takers are trying their very best to answer every question.

While many test-prep companies have great practice tests, those companies would never suggest that their tests are as accurate as the official practice tests. The 3rd-party tests don't use retired GMAT questions, they don't use the official scoring algorithm, and the data collected on each question cannot be as accurate, because the students taking the tests aren't doing so in a formal testing environment.

So, while 3rd-party tests are great for practicing your test-taking skills, and for identifying weaknesses, you shouldn't use them to gauge your progress.

If you're going to compare your initial GMATPrep score of 560 with another test result, take another official practice test.

Yes. There is 'some' improvement - - but it's not earth shattering.

What particular areas had you focused on where you saw improvement?

Higher yield topics would have brought you a higher score, I'd imagine.

What areas are you still working on and how are you doing it.
