psriniva just joined TestMagic.
I took GMAT about 5 years ago - Computer Adaptive test in Detroit.
Obtained 640.
Now, I am planning on taking GMAT again.

Took 2 Diagnostic tests recently from Official GMAT people (mba.com).
In the 2 tests I got 720 and 710.

I do not thing my skill set has changed any. How come I am getting up to 80 points more.

Are diagnostic tests easier than the actual tests?

I did take 1 hour break between the Verbal section and the Quantitative section. In the real test only 5 minutes break is allowed.

I am wondering, if the grading scales have changed?
Does 720 now mean the same as the 720 from 5 years ago?

Just wondering

Your response is highly appreciated.
