I think its common. Have you taken the gmatclub diagnostic test to see what are the areas you need to focus more? And certainly 3 weeks not enough not to get frustrated easily!

Been studying seriously for about three weeks (6-8 hrs a day)... and I'm having trouble when it comes to the CAT tests in the Quant. I've been trying to study the concepts that drive a question vs. just doing a lot of questions, but when I feel that I've mastered a concept I still have trouble on the CAT. I just can't seem to cycle through the correct information in an appropriate amount of time to answer a question, but when I go back I want to hit myself on the head because I actually 'knew' it. Is this a common? Should I do more problems? Alternative strategies to address this issue?

-Scored 590 on my first CAT, and 610 and 620 on the subsequent exams...
-Taking the GMAT in early March...

Your methodology is correct and the important thing is that when you come back, you realize you 'knew it'. It is a step closer to 'actually knowing it during the test'. Also, you would 'instantly know' the direct applications at least. The tougher ones are more about data management, time management and focus. Once your concepts are solid, practice tons of questions. You will develop an instinct for which piece of info will go where. There will still be some questions (perhaps 3 to 4) where you 'knew it' but still 'blew it' scene will occur but those will be harmless since the software adjusts for small aberrations. Relax and keep practicing!
