For the past 3 months, I've been studying intensely for the GMAT - logging 150+ hours - and scoring a 520 (Q36 V25) on the actual test. My biggest mishaps were: spending a significant time on quant while disregarding verbal, and lack of analyzing my errors. So prior to my next attempt, in which I'd hope to take within a month or two, I want to improve my analyzing skills. However, my concern is that I'm usually spending 2 hours to analyze (& understand concepts) of 5-10 problems.
I'm wondering if studying at this pace is detrimental since i can only analyze 5-10 problems in a 2 hour block? This includes practice tests too (highest was 570 btw) which would, at this rate, take me a day or two to fully analyze (a day = a two-hour study block per day).
Also, I do not mind increasing the amount of time I study since i am not working at the moment. I hope to increase my score to a 650+. I would even reconsider taking the GMAT in a month, and pushing it to two months ahead to obtain a 700 btw.
