That answer really depends on your math background. My weaknesses are geometry and world problems. I would also be weary of data sufficiency problems, they are often quite tricky.

from my experience, everything except arithmetics. Especially probabilities and permutations.

The hardest topic, as far as how the GMAT tests it, has to be Numbver Properties.

That encomapasses, multiples, factors, primes, positive/negative, even /odd, exponents and radicals.

Luckily, none of the topics mentioned are that hard to learn.
For love, not money.
