This is Erdogan from Istanbul, Turkey. I have been preparing for gmat for a year now. I have started my journey with 590(Q49,V23) and targeting at least 730(Q50,V39) to apply top business schools in round 2. So far I took 4 gmat exams in person:
1-590(Q49,V23) Oct 8,2019(I had to take some time off from gmat after this one)(ESR available) 2-630(Q49,V27) Aug 13,2020 3-670(Q50,V31) Sept 3,2020 (ESR available) 4-690(Q50,V34) Oct 9,2020
Until now, I was able to identify my gaps in each of the takes therefore I was able to improve continuously. But this time I'm kind of stucked.
Exam 1: I was weak at SC and CR thus sat down and gone thru e-gmat SC and CR again.
Exam 2: I did better but I was unable to manage time. I realized that I don't have any systematic approach for time management. Did more SC and CR practice and did mocks with MGMAT's time management approach.
Exam 3: Another improvement but still far away from the target. Time management approach worked but ı wasn't confident enough while marking some of the questions, especially SC. SC's are taking longer than 1:30 thus forcing to guess some of the CR questions. After the exam I sit down and watched all of Ron's SC videos and most of the CR videos.
Exam 4: Before the exam, I was feeling way more confident since I scored 740 & 770 at official CAT's. But scored 690 in the real exam. SCs were way harder than CATs and official GMAT questions.
So this is where I am now. I'm scoring significantly higher in official CATs than actual GMAT test. I have been practicing latest OG in online format and have SC accuracy of %80-90 but still unable to score 39 in the exam. I feel like actual GMAT SC questions are a bit harder than the published ones.
I wrote to e-gmat since I was a paid member but I was recommended to go over all the videos back again(~90hrs), and since I'm planning to apply R2, this is basically not an option.
System doesn't allow me to share my ESR but I can share it with whoever is interested.
I'll be very glad if you can help me out to achieve my dream score1 Thanks a lot for your help and time in advance!

Thanks a lot for feedback OnlineTutorKnight ! Actually your feedback is kind of unexpected for me. If you don't mind, can you please share your rationale behind online version recommendation? Do you think my score drops because I feel uncomfortable at the test center? I'll be very happy to hear back from you.
Thanks again!
