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! :D
