Ok, so I took the GMAT a week ago and need to re-take and clearly my math skills need refreshening. I just ordered the MGMAT math books from Amazon and have 2 months before I am to re-take the test. Are there any suggestions in what order I should start studying these books? I would say my biggest weakness was time, I had to simply guess on the last 5 problems without even reading them. I am confident with a little more study I will get the score I need, I just dont want to get overwhelmed with 7 books to study in a short period of time.

Thanks

Instead of going through all the material in the books, you could try reading up only on the stuff that you are struggling with. Also, where is the time management issue springing from? Is it a result of weak basics or a result of too little practice? Figuring that out might give you some pointers into what you need to do.

I second the number property book. I realized I am terrible at data sufficiency especially NP related... this book truly made all the difference in the world. I now look at DS completely differently than I did before.
