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.

Actual GMAT: 680 (Q: 47, V: 36), 640 (Q: 49, V: 29)

-PowerPrep: 640, 700
-Manhatten: 670, 700, 710

Can anyone tell me how accurate the Manhatten exams are in comparison to the actual GMAT? I seem to get more number of questions wrong on the Manhatten, but still manage to receive higher scores..how is this possible?
