To improve in math, I believe that students should compartmentalize their learning and take the time to master each topic (e.g., percents, ratios, exponents, statistics, etc.).

This means that, for each topic, you should:
1) Learn the underlying concepts (rules, attributes, notation, etc.)
2) Learn GMAT-specific strategies related to that topic
3) Practice dozens of questions all related to that one topic.
4) Don't stop working on that topic until you have mastered it
Then, and only then, move on to the next topic.

I also suggest that you spend a lot of time reviewing the responses from the Experts on this site. They model the steps you should be taking when tackling math problems.

Cheers,
Brent

AdvenofTintin: i'm a fellow club member and 700 aspirant like yourself (feel free to pm if you wish to discuss further). i think i'm in a similar camp as you. i've been at it with prep since beginning of this year and grinding through quant, which is my primary weakness. i've working with charles biblios (gmat ninja) for past month and thus far he is fantastic. i'd strongly recommend him. note: i haven't taken test yet, so results are tbd. but if you can afford him (yikes), i'd say it's well worth it. he's an expert (800 score) and really a stand up guy. check him out. good luck with your studies - dig deep!
