I feel that I am completely burned out.
I`ve started my journey since April 2021. Studied in a group for 2 months. It is clear that group courses are not so effective. Than I proceed with the quant and verb (80% quant and 20%verb because verbal is little bit better) till the end of the year and I felt that I am over. The reason in my opinion is that I had no plan. I tried to do smth running from one topic to another from 500 to 700-level questions. I had a mess in my head.
Than I fully stopped study process. I decided that it`s a waste of time and I lose my money if I pay for the exam because my level very low.
Again I started to study with private quant teacher in March 2022, We went through Manhattan prep books, from topic to topic, from easy to 700+ questions. It was a good approach, but I steel have a problems with timing. When I am limited, I like an idiot - stop thinking and confused. In that condition I completely can`t deal with 600+ level...
Today we went through all the books (only 2 books left). What we have? I don`t feel any progress, I feel like I am tired, bored, can`t deal with level more than 600, I fill that my brain stopped absorb information, I look at questions like a dumb - just looking in the monitor and don`t know how to solve the question. Really, I look and don`t know what to do. And of course I still have problems with timing. I have no idea how to solve tasks timely with such a "good" set of conditions.
I have no idea what to do with that. My minimal target of 650 seems like unreal.
Could you please advise me smth?

Hi Thiefbyte.
It's pretty common for people to have trouble thinking as well under timed conditions as they do untimed. At the same time, what often helps is simply to keep practicing untimed to develop stronger skills. The stronger your skills are and the more clear your are about how to answer GMAT questions, the better you'll do under time pressure.
Have you taken any official practice tests? If so, how have you scored on the quant and verbal sections?
Also, you may get some useful insights regarding how to train for the GMAT from this post.

Hi Thiefbyte,
Two minutes is almost always more than enough for OFFICIAL quant questions if you know the content and strategies. So what you need to work on, imo, is mindfulness techniques. Many athletes, orators, and in fact people from all disciplines face this challenge. But once you learn how to zone in, and focus - rather than get distracted by your ‘mental’ clock or by your ‘stage’ perception - you may see wonders in your performance.
