Yes, I've been studying early in the morning typically 5:30-7 is my main study time and then I try and get additional studying in whenever I have time over the day.
Not entirely sure why I'm struggling with quant. I seem to grasp the concepts when I review them and I do well on the practice questions if I focus on a specific topic however when I get the actual test I sometimes just read a question and don't understand what its asking me. I've also had times where I've gone halfway through a question or solved it entirely only to realize I made a simple math mistake somewhere and I don't have enough time to go through my work and find it.
I really don't understand what's going on with my quant, I'm planning to take a week off of studying (I'll start back up next Wednesday) to reset and then I'm thinking of going back to the beginning but any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

I think on quant it’s a mixture of knowledge gap and timing issues. The DI decrease on attempts 2 and 3 was due to time as I had to guess on my last couple questions. I tried to remedy that on today’s exam by bailing earlier on questions but that didn’t help. I’ll have better insight after I get the official results.
Between exams 1 and 4 I’ve spent around 4 months studying. Exam 1 was end of October, exam 2 was early December right. I didn’t study at all in December or January and then picked up studying again towards the middle/end of February as that’s when waitlist and rejection results were coming out. I’ve been seriously studying since then, I’d say I’m averaging around 25 hours a week. I’d do more but I’m also working full time so it’s mostly done on wfh days and the weekend.
Got it.
Is it an option for you to spend a month and study early in the morning before work potentially so you are a bit more consistent week over week?
Any particular reason for a struggle with Quant?
