I can sit with a mock analysis for 5 hours and still not change how I study the next day. What's a tighter method that you've stuck to?

I'm thinking: only review wrong + lucky-guess questions, tag the reason (didn't know / misread / silly), and pick max 3 topics to revise the same week.

That's already a good method. I would add a cap: 90 minutes for analysis, not 5 hours. If a question needs a new chapter, it goes on a list, it doesn't get studied in the analysis session itself.

And be honest about 'misread'. Those don't need a new book, they need slower reading of the last line of the question.

90-minute cap is what I needed. I'll try it on the next one.

also don't retake the same mock the next morning, that's comfort not practice.
