Suggest a topic you feel is hard to crack, I will prepare some notes on the topic which would make it easier. Everyone can contribute so that we could make it some kind of a knowledge base.
As a start, suggest a topic which is going to be discussed this week... |

[1] Lines: Coordinate Geometry [2] Inequality + Absolute value
topics that I find difficult.
Just a suggestion, would it be possible to organize the GMAT Math section according to topics. Maybe this has been discussed before.
The posts subjects dont really help when we are looking for specific types of problem. So suggestion is that in the new message window, would it be possible to provide a topic type (we already have a classfication list of different topics that are tested) that needs to be populated. It may not work 100% to begin with but gradually most of the messages will start having such classification and a seperate link can be provided to those looking for say "probability", "statistics" etc.

Well there are many problems in doing something like this. First of all there are just too many topics to be covered. Second of all many questions test more than one topic, how would they be included in the list. Moreover you can use the search function effectively to divide threads according to different topics.

I voted other.
I think Factors / Mutiples / Reminders are the hardest questions in GMAT for 2 reasons:
a) They are abstract
b) Its very tough to focus on what is being asked.
