i never gave GPrep tests so cant say about them, but gave kaplan and princeton online tests and this is what i have learnt.i never made a comprehensive table for for either of the sections, always tried to do as many right as possible.

for quant- you might get 49 upto 6 mistakes. but its very very important to understand that the point at which you made the mistakes in your test is extremely important, and also how the mistakes are seperated.

verbal i cant say, because the farther you move from the maximum score that is 51, the greater are the number of permutations to get that score, like 4 wrongs in a row around 25th question and 6-7 interspersed among the last 25 questions might give a same score. Hence i would say the exercise is useless unless, you just want to do it for scores like quant 50, verbal 49-51, the combinations are less and you would get a better understanding.

A disclaimer first - i didnot follow any template or any book or notes for AWA.

for the AWA section when i was reading through instructions in OG and Princeton VW, itried to understand the way the essays were being evaluated. The computer evaluation is based on the way other top scorers have written in the past and for the human evaluater as far as it contains arguments backed by illustrations written with a sound grammar and concluded well, they make no bones about giving a 6.

there are few important things you must keep in mind, structure the essay properly, the ideas should develop coherently and smoothly, there shouldnt be grammatical and spell mistakes, the conclusion should clearly state your stance and what else you wanted the argument to have.
For each point use a seperate paragraph, put in only those point that are vital, its an essay and not a thesis. 5-6 paragraphs in total, 5-6 lines or more in each, should give you enough space to put forth your ideas. make notes and jot down what points or examples you might want to use in the essay, Write the introduction and conclusion first, they are the most important part of your essay, then fill in the details in form of other paragraphs. Use fancy words when you know their full purport, but do use some of them

go through keya' thread (i hope) you might get some excellent advice there
