Don't know about that, it seems to me that the further you go it gets exponentially harder to improve, like if you have 1600 and want to get to 2000+- to get your NM title (depends on the country) you have to work like 10x, getting to 2400 would be like 20x and getting to 2600+- would be like 40x the amount of dedication
