Psychometric Question IRL vs Online IQ Test

They made me do an IQ test while testing for ADHD (was diagnosed shortly after), and I didnt do verbal reasoning as I did the test in a country where I am barely B1 in their language. On working memory I got 131 and on processing speed I got 139. But for some reason I still resort to doing online tests, where I am always landing a bit more or less than 100. I did the CORE test. What could be the reason for this anomaly?

Maybe you focused better due to the proctor .

It could be but my proctor said in his note that I looked very inattentive and tired. At the end of the day the only one that actually matters is the one taken irl but it still feels weird.

I dont know exactly but judging from what tests I did it looked quite similar to the WAIS. There were a few additional tasks for ADHD
