First, I really want to thank GMAT Club and Veritas videos for everything and also GMATPrepNow for its wonderful study plan,
I've started GMATPrepNow course on December 1st and taken the GMAT test last week(a total of around 300 hours of effort!).
Unfortunately, I didn't hit my target score, I aimed at 720+ and got 680 (Q-49, V-34, IR-5).
I feel a little frustrated since all my official GMAT mock tests have been better except one.
I’m not a native speaker, but the study plan allowed me to score constantly above 35 on verbal. As I said, unfortunately, the real one was only 34.
I reviewed all questions from tests and noted insights and tips in OneNote in a very detailed and ordered manner.
I’ve solved all OG questions from the course, and also the verbal and quant reviews questions (2016 and 2017).
And all in a timed manner.
I’ve tracked all questions in excel (error log) and repeated wrong ones and those I thought the time to resolve was too long.
Below is my total performance for all OG questions:
SC - 82.1%
CR - 88.7%
RC - 83.5%
PS - 90%
DS - 85.6%
Below are described all my scores (official mock tests + Exam Pack2 for 2 additional official ones and all 7 Veritas mock tests):

I think I could have scored a lot better, so I really need your advice. Here are my questions:
What are my next steps?
How can I achieve my score?
When to schedule another test? (I’m not going to give up!)
Also, during the test, we had a fire alarm with loud repetitive automated instructions to evacuate the building (for about 7-8 minutes) that made me lose my focus even if nobody seemed to evacuate. 2 minutes later (after the endless automated messages), a human announcement told us it was a malfunction. I was so stressed that I didn't say anything to the ladies at the test center but I wrote an e-mail to Pearson customer service after the test. Do you know what are my rights under such circumstances?
Thanks a lot for everything,
Mike.
