I have not taken the GMAt yet, but I have been studying for a month and a half and today I did GMAT Prep #2 exam and I scored 480 (21q,24v), too low if I am aiming for 650. I have all MGMAt guides, which I read and did all the exercises in OG. However, I did not improve enough. I think my weakness are DS and CR, but after 5h/day (except some weekends) studying I feel frustated. Maybe I did not put enough concentration during the exam too.
I downloaded all GMATClub resources already, and I would ask you which approach could take to tackle GMAT. I am non native english speaker, I have a Bachelor in Economics as background.

I believe the secret isn't the amount of time you study but the quality of your study. When you are doing your OG questions and get them wrong, what did you do? Where is the problem? Is the concept/theory, time or you missed a simple calculation by lack of concentration? You need to study not only all quant and verbal concepts but also yourself. You need to ask yourself "What I'm doing wrong in this question?" Identify your error's patterns to improve them.
It is better to spend 5 hours/day doing 50 questions and reviewing then (not just the wrong ones) than doing 200 questions just for the quantity.
You have plenty of nice material here in GMAT Club: start reading the best gmat stories - see their tips and try to apply some to your study plan. Besides that, when you get some wrong question, copy and paste the question here and search for it in the forum - you will be able to see others reasoning and use the "similar topics" button, which gives to you a lot of similar questions. Then, you can practice the specific question topic and understand it better.
Good luck!!!

I have to admit that I am struggling to find an internship position and sometimes I feel even more frustated, which probably affected the quality of my study time.
When I do questions I review the wrong ones, and more than a half are due to silly mistakes and lack of concentration. I keep an error log on OG questions and I score about 65-75% in every section except DS.
