The schedule you have mentioned is more than sufficient.

I have a suggestion. Try this and let me know.

First week.

Take your OG guide and start with quants. Try each question in that list . Try 40 questions a day. Solve them first and then look at the solution and compare where you miss. Just go through the solutions for 3 days and whatever related basic you need to know for remembering that information.

Second week.

Repeat the same problems again. Theoretically you should improve your score considerably. If you dont
see what error you made the first time and what you are making now. If its the same error , you are not learning it.. If its different ones , redo them again after learning.

I would suggest going through this approach of using the standard problem and solution solving to get some confidence and have some sure fire improvement in the score. Even if its a little bit.

Let me know how it goes in two weeks..

Hello again,
25-30 hours a week for 3 to 4 months is a good amount of practice. However, you need to make sure that you're studying in the right way. That is, you need to learn from your mistakes as stated above. One thing about the OGs is that their explanations for math aren't very good. You should probably get the archer program from Manhattan so that you have good math explanations. Also, I wouldn't focus exclusively on math for a week or two at a time. Getting better at reading is something that happens over time so I would suggest that you spend a decent amount of time working on GMAT RC passages as well as SC problems. Generally, most people are more efficient if they study math for 75 minutes, take a break, and then study verbal for 75 minutes. As with the math section, when you do verbal questions you should take note of your mistakes and what you need to learn from them.

Cheers!
