Inconsistent Scores for GRE Practice tests

Help!

I'm taking the test this week and have been taking a Kaplan course and intensively studying. Every time I take a Kaplan (CAT) Test, my score is in the 600s. BUT, every time I take a test in my ETS book (one of those books with 7 old tests) my score is in the 400s!

What is happening? Which score is more accurate? What should I do?????

People tend to say to trust the PowerPrep software the most (it's ETS and CAT, while it sounds like the ETS one that you're using is paper-based). So my answer to the first question is don't know, and the second question is go to the ETS website and give PowerPrep a shot :P.

Strange. I've found the exact opposite to be true.

I found that the paper ones are MUCH easier than the real thing or powerprep. I used the exact ETS book that you describe and got 780-800 on all of them, but then when I tried the powerprep software I only got a 720 (which is essentially what I got on the real thing when I took it 4 years ago).
