Greetings! this is my first post on gmatclub.
Tried 2 times on real GMAT test during the last 3 months but all ended up with some really bad score. the problem is that during those 2 attempts perspectively in two different test center,I encountered either too big screen or the pixelized font, which I'm not quite sure wether could be attributed to the genuine inability of adaptation for screen or merely the stress. The detailed impediment is that I could not grasp the gist of the line on screen as fast as I can on the printed OG material with relatively smaller text. one thing I'm sure to myself is that my thought will be much more active and concentrate when I work on the material on the printed OG. Now I'm so helpless since my next attempt will be in five days. Wish the someone could shed the light on the issue.

Hi, seasonliew,
It's highly recommended to simulate real GMAT test environment while you study/practice or taking mock. You need to adapt to study on Laptop or PC, not even on mobile or tablet. As you are having exam in a week, try to take Mock on PC or laptop if you can. Regarding font size during exam, you can take help of invigilator at the test center, if you can figure it out, before start of the exam.
All the best for exam!!!
Regards.

Hi seasonliew,
I'm sorry to hear that your 2 Official GMATs did not go as well as planned. Unfortunately, since you're so close to your next Test Date, you probably won't be able to make any big changes to how you 'see' (or respond to) the Exam. That having been said, we might be able to make some 'tweaks' to how you work, but it would help if you could first provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) On what dates did you take EACH of your Official GMATs and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
2) How long have you studied in total?
3) What study materials have you used so far?
4) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
5) What is your overall goal score?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
You might also choose to purchase the Enhanced Score Report for this next attempt. While the ESR doesn’t provide a lot of information, there are usually a few data points that we can use to define what went wrong on Test Day (and what you should work on to score higher). If you purchase the ESR, then I'll be happy to analyze it for you.
