Best Course for Associate Modeling Tests

Currently wrapping up my second year as an analyst in multifamily acquisitions. Interviewing for associate roles now and keep fucking up the modeling tests. I am proficient in Excel, use it consistently at work, understand our models very well, etc, but when it comes to completing modeling tests, I usually perform poorly as I don't finish because I spend way too much time building out complex formulas (as I'm used to doing on the job). First off, am I alone this and am I actually a dumbass or is this more common than I may think?

Considering taking a course where I can practice a bunch of 2-4 hour case studies. Does anyone have suggestions for such a course? Not looking for recommendations such as ACRE as modeling in ACRE is fairly different than modeling tests.

It's frustrating and I'm angry with myself as I honestly have a great resume. When I submit half completed models, people must think I'm a fucking idiot or that my resume is a lie, but, as far as work is concerned, I perform very well and always receive excellent reviews. I'm working in Excel nearly every day and have been through quite a few acquisitions since I started.
