The MGMAT tests are calibrated to be accurate. You should expect the score that you have been given. That said, here are some caveats:

1) Some people experience greater than normal stress on the real exam which affects their score adversely.
2) The GMAT itself, and our practice tests as well have about a 30 point standard error. Combining both sources of error means you might experience a score about 60 pts away form the prediction. You can reduce this 60 pt spread further by taking additional practice tests. If you are reliably scoring at a certain level then you should expect the same results.

Enjoy
