Where do we begin! There are HUNDREDS of things you can do, but first lets look at HOW you're studying. Important to study smart, and not make it harder on yourself. Really.

1. your study time need not mirror the test-taking time. Study in shorter spurts with breaks. If this were a marathon (and it is) you wouldn't keep running the distance and time of that marathon. This IS A TRAINING period. NOT the test itself. SO, that leads to @.
2. Give yourself a break, be good to yourself, and set up a rewards program. Put things in place so you can feel like in addition to improving, you're being good to yourself.
3. Various energetic and psychological techniques would be great for you to explore. Hypnosis, guided visualization, EFT, EMDR, meditation, (and more) are extremely effective in your learning HOW to stay the course, through the training AND ON Diagnostic and Test days.
4. Mindful practice is great for you since you've got 70 days to go. If you want to experience some of how you can use GMAT focused intentional activities to help your mindset, check this out: https://testprepny.com/pages/products_gmat.htm

In terms of 1st gmat prep score its not bad, I understand you dont have problems with quant or verbal...Well to build stamina....you must practice full length exams periodically ...

Increase you study time slowly....

you cant score 750 ina day...you need time..preparation and strategies....You will gain stamina..

Just stick wth the basics and practice...

Chaw
Don't look for the incorrect things that you have done rather look for remedies....

Stamina is not the issue here. The issue is fundamentals. If you are scoring below Q40 or V30, you have some gaps to fill. Just giving full length tests one after another will not help.

Another important point is from where you are coming. If you come from a technical background a quant score of 45+ is surely on cards. For humanities a verbal 37+ is doable.

What are the books you are refering.
