How did Kaplan OAT (one with 2 FL exams) compare with the OAT math?

I'm sure this has been asked at some point so bear with me... but I can't find any specific threads on it.

I did the math practice set from Kaplan today and I completely freaked out. Now I feel a bit like crying. It was horrific! It's not that the questions are REALLY horribly hard. There just isn't enough time.. I panic and make so much mistakes.

Is the real QR as hard as Kaplan? Comparable? Worse?

...Help!
 
You might have found the Kaplan version harder because they have 50 questions and want you to finish it in 45 minutes, while the real test has 40 questions in 45 min. That should help your timing.
I did the test last week, and I found the section a little harder than Kaplans' and much harder than the opted test. My test had a lot of word problems, systems of equations, trig, and probability, and very few easy algebra questions. Your problem seems to be timing, and not the questions, so it could be easy for you, but either way, be ready to understand and solve long problems quickly.
Good luck!
