1 month is definitely do-able, especially if you only need to focus on quant.
Be careful not to make "stupid" mistakes. The key to improvement is changing your thought process. Mark down the ones you get wrong. Revisit them again and see how you do. Do not discard questions just because you've seen them before. Your memory is not so good that you remember every little detail. Just continually mark wrong questions and revisit them everyday. Ask yourself why you got it wrong. What could you have done differently to not choose the wrong answer? What could you have done to reduce your time? Rewatch our videos - is your thinking process similar to ours? Can you practice internalizing our approach so the thinking happens as fast as possible?
Lastly, train your mental stamina. Prepare for the exam as if you were sitting in for the real one.
Focus, focus, focus.

Guess you are looking at Math after many years. It's understandable that you need to start right from the beginning i.e. you probably need to re-learn how to work with equations, quadratics, fractions etc. Khan academy is a great resource to help you understand many of these basic manipulations. You really really need to know your basic Math before you progress to GMAT Quant. Look, a GMAT book will explain you how to take information from a question and put it into an equation which you can solve. But to arrive at the answer, you need to solve the equation which you cannot if your basics are weak. You need to manipulate the numbers in every question.
As for memorizing vs understanding the formulas, you need to understand the formula to know exactly when you can use it and when you cannot. No one cares whether you can derive it. If you are going through a GMAT book right now and are able to solve most of the easy and mid level practice questions after going through the theory, then your basics aren't really weak and you can keep to the book. Else go to your text book, keep working on Khan academy and subsequently, you will need to check out the GMAT book again. A lot of things to do and little time but since you do want to take the test in a month, work hard and we hope it will all work out...
