I've taken all Kaplan practice tests and scored in the low 80's high 70's. I saved the actual cfa practice exam until the day before and it is kicking my ass. Has anyone else gone through this or is currently going through this. I'm not sure what to make of the large discrepancy in performance.

I don't remember level 1 but for level 2 the question style was really different. I felt like Schweser was really straightforward when they asked questions/gave information whereas the CFAI mocks were really uh... not straightforward?
don't sweat it. you'll probably pass. i was scoring low 70's on the kaplan and i passed.
FWIW I passed from using Qbank and i'm not kidding when I say this... 4 year old schweser books (NO ONE ELSE SHOULD THINK ABOUT DOING THIS).
