Computer based GRE Tips

Hi, everyone!
I have a pickle. I have been studying and practicing for the GRE for a few months now and I can say that I feel especially confident in my verbal skills. However, I took the PowerPrep Test 2 on the ETS website today, and I did so poorly on both sections scoring a mere total of 300. I feel defeated: a 156 verbal and 144 quantitative. I usually score 160+ on the verbal measure, and 150+ in the quantitative section. Math has never been my strong suit so I'm quite happy for the 150+ scores I have been getting.
I have noticed that in general, my main problem is that I am used to taking exams on paper. Therefore, I have never had to come up with skills relating to computer based exams. I so much prefer the paper based version of any exam, even the IELTS exam. On paper I get to literally work with the paper and the question and mark any word or any piece of data that could be of help.
Do you have any tips on how to get better at the computer based GRE (other than to practice)? Thank you!

I am sorry to hear that sir
However, stay up and keep going.
You could train yourself with our test https://gre.myprepclub.com/tests/available-tests which is basically has the same interface of the original.
Or take some other good mock test here to see the best https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/shorte ... ml#p112456
I know that you prefer that old one but I think is no longer available if not is some remote region of the world. Now,, the GRE test is administered only via computer in a test authorized center of via home edition in front of your computer
let me know if you need further assistance for your exam or preparation.
All the best
