I am scoring around 610 - 630 on practice tests and understand that I can not merely do practice problems to improve my quant score. I think if I go back to the basics and then practice practice practice, I will be more successful in my efforts.

What would you consider the best study guide for Quant basics?

Thanks.

I used the Kaplan GMAT Math Workbook and found it to be very helpful with the fundamentals.

You may also consider the GMAT Hacks Math Bible. I believe it's a soft copy, but it has great reviews.

Mgmat Math Series' Third Edition is more thorough and has included explanations for higher-level questions as well. I would highly recommend the series.
