If you're doing as many scenic runs through the training area as possible in 3 hours, there is either something wrong with your motivation as a pilot to improve your skills or your school's syllabus is rubbish. I don't think that's what you literally meant, but to clarify my earlier comment:

Depending on the flying school, the sequence of training events around area solo can look something like this:

Forced landings 1 - dual
Steep turns 1 - dual
Forced landings 2 - dual, but a check to see if the student is suitable for solo
Forced landings - solo
Steep turns 2 - dual, another solo check
Steep turns - solo

My point to 101 is there is no use doing all four dual lessons above (using that syllabus as an example), then go back to the circuit for solo, if you are required to re-do the pre-solo checks in 4-6 weeks to confirm you are suitable for solo practice. Most schools wouldn't be comfortable with a 20-odd hour pilot having a six week break between their training area solo check and their actual area solo flight.
