hi
Figure out your weakness and work on it...Its easy you just need to know where are you lacking....practice from gmat prep and OG..Since you dont have much time...
Also review the technique behind an answer not the figures..
Happy studying

Don't look for the incorrect things that you have done rather look for remedies....

Taking a systematic, logical approach is the most efficient and effective way to have a go at it.
Take a diagnostic test from GMAC. Then isolate your problem areas. Then either work with a reputable book source for EXPLAINING answers and teaching the material, take a class or work with a tutor. DO NOT use OG material to learn the math, only to practice it. If you're trying to 'fit' something into you schedule, likely self study or a tutor will be the best given your time frame.
The bottom line, given what you've written is that you need to start with the basics: arithmetic and number properties and move into the algebra, geometry and more advanced math. Remember the math isn't only testing your flair with mathematical concepts, but is also acting as a gauge of HOW you work with numbers in a business sense, so knowing short cuts, recognizing patterns, taking calculated risks, etc. is all built into your taking the test.
Good Luck!
