What is harder?

Is it harder to improve your knowledge (both on Q and V) from 450 to 550 or from 650 to 750? The numbers are approximations...

The question is addressed mainly to instructors and experienced GMATbeaters.

kebab,

Although I'm not even close to being a GMAT expert, i would like to address this question with my prep experience. I definitely feel that improving from 450 to 550 is very easy but improving from 650 to 700+ is more difficult.
I say this because i started off in the 540 range and currently i'm in the 650 ballpark. It took me just a week of prep to boost by score from 540 to 620 but even after 2 months of prep i'm hardly close to 700.
