Kaplan 2011 Premier practice tests: Has anyone used this?

[obviousbicycle]

Anyone? I've taken all 5 and my verbal did not even hit the 150 mark which is odd because I did fairly well in other tests (Manhattan, Powerprep, Magoosh) i.e. >153. I am freaking out because I'm taking my GRE this Saturday!

 

For those who have used it - especially those who are struggling with verbal - do you think their verbal questions are relatively harder? Surprisingly I didn't find them ridiculously hard, that's why I was confounded when I saw my scores.

I don't think Kaplan verbal questions themselves are harder, but I think they are scored unfairly. I scored fairly well (around 158) but that was still lower than I scored on other practice tests. I've heard Kaplan verbal is not very predictive, so I wouldn't be too worried about it, especially if your PowerPrep and Manhattan scores are good. So don't freak out.

Yay! Thank you! This is exactly my take on Kaplan and it is all that I needed to hear from someone who has used it.
