Question Is this possible in PowerPrep????!!

Hi fellas

I gave my PP 2 test today after 1.5 months of prep
and got 660 in verbal, however I find it difficult to believe these scores.I took pp 1 before startin my prep I got 350 in verbal...then after going thru barron wordlist(took 1 month) once without studyin any of the strategies I got 480 on pp2 in verbal and now I got 660 after revising barron and studyi the strategies.....is such a huge jump possible.....???!!! I doubt if the pp scoring algo is same as the real thing...
guys who have taken the real test please shed some lite

Here are the details

1 SC - correct
2 antonym correct
3 analogy incorrect
4 antonym correct
5 antonym correct
6 antonym correct
7 antonym correct
8 analogy correct
9 antonym incorrect
10 analogy incorrect
11 antonym correct

23 reading comprehension incorrect
24 reading comprehension incorrect
25 antonym correct
26 analogy incorrect
27 antonym correct
28 reading comprehension incorrect

30 SC correct

in all I got 11 wrong...which are way too many....!!

clearly I suck at RCs real bad....I studied both the kaplan and barron strategies but one seems to work for me....on the above pp I got a legthy psychology based reading comprehension ....i was readin carefully but I had no Idea what the hell was being said...and the optios were too close to decipher......only 3 correct out of 8....
reading comprehension masters please tell me what to do...
