Need Advice: 2 Months of Self-Study – Progress, but Stuck on Hard Questions (Target 705+)

Hi everyone,

I’ve been self-studying for the GMAT for the past two months, and I’ve made noticeable progress, but I’ve also identified some recurring issues that I’m not sure how to fix. I’d really appreciate advice from anyone who has been through a similar stage for Quant

I can solve most easy and a good number of medium GMAT Club questions comfortably, usually within 2 minute.
My biggest issue is with hard questions. I often struggle to identify the right approach. However, when I read the solution afterward, I usually understand the logic immediately and think, "That makes sense."
It feels like I have the concepts, but I don’t yet have the pattern recognition needed to quickly identify the best approach on my own.

### Verbal

I can solve most easy and many medium questions correctly.
Hard questions are still a challenge. My main problems are:

I can’t pre-think the answer choices quickly enough.
I spend too much time understanding the author’s intent, the logic between sentences, and the overall argument.
Because of this, I often exceed the ideal 2–3 minutes per question.

### Data Insights (DI)

My biggest issue is speed. I take too long to analyze tables, graphs, and multiple data sources before I can even start solving the question.
I feel that my data interpretation process isn’t efficient enough.

### My Questions

1. Is this a normal stage after about two months of preparation?
2. How do I improve my ability to recognize the correct approach for difficult Quant questions without looking at the solution?
3. How can I improve my reading speed, pre-thinking, and comprehension for difficult Verbal questions?
4. What is the best way to become faster at analyzing data in DI?
5. At this stage, should I continue solving more practice questions, or should I spend more time reviewing and analyzing my mistakes?

For context, I’m aiming for a 705+ GMAT Focus score. Any advice, study strategies, or resources that helped you get past this stage would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

And also i am any using gmat ninja free video and gmat club for prep till now

So far great. Try to take the GMAT Official Mock Tests to see your progress. I have heard that Bhanu took it on March and he said the questions are about the Official Test 3-6 like
