For math fundamentals, I recommend Kaplan's Power Math book.

For work on advanced questions, I recommend our GMAT 800 book (which covers both content and strategy).

If you need to work on a lot of fundamental drills, your best bet may be a grade 8-10 math textbook which you may be able to borrow from a friend/relative or your local reference library.

Hi

would you recommend to get the Manhattan Books for maths? Are those books strongly recommended as the Manhattan SC one?

My test is very soon...and I feel missing some geometry fundamentals.

Thx

I've heard good things about the MGMAT Math books, but I don't know whether they touch geometry well. For fundamentals, the Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook is decent.
