There are many books and prep companies with a lot of maths. If you want, you can always in OG(Official Guide 12th ed) read the introduction chapter to quant which basically mention most concepts you need to understand.

You can also do a CAT, such as those MGMAT offers, and it will tell you more about what you did worst on.

Souns like you are not yet looking for real GMAT questions. If you are looking for a math book that just reviews the basic concepts so that you can get them solid before trying GMAT type questions then books that are aimed at that are Princeton review's Math Smart or a book called the Ultimate math review for GMAT, GRE and SAT and good choices. You can also google problem types you are having difficulty with and there are many good online resources.

Once your basics are solid you will have a great foundation to work on many good books that present GMAT style questions.

Best of Luck

What the heck let me come in here and put in a plug for a book called "Math Essentials" from Veritas Prep. This is the book that students complete before they start the quantitative lessons. It does not assume that you are coming in with any particular knowledge and covers all the bases.

It is not often I come in for a straight plug for the company but I really do like this book.

Thanks everyone for the support! I focused on the math essentials using lots of tips here. Spent a lot of time memorizing formulas and shortcuts and trying to look for patterns. I scored a 620 on my GMAT on April 9, 2011 and am now b-school bound! I got into my top choice in the DC area!
