I have taken the GMAT three times!! My scores were 350, 450 and finally 530. I see that I am improving but I'm at a loss of what to do now. It seems that the questions on the test just seem so unfamiliar from the OG guide. Furthermore, all of the things that I know really well such as number properties and algebra never appear on my tests. I know that it is not a timing issue and from my preparation with the ManGMAT guides I always feel as if I know the material. Please help.

If you have studied from the same material time and again, you might want to try some other material. The reason is simple - sometimes, we keep reading the same thing again and again but our mind refuses to absorb anything. Then we look at it from a different perspective, from another person's angle and it all comes together.
Since you have taken GMAT 3 times, you know your strong and weak areas (By the way, I am quite certain that everyone gets questions from number properties and algebra since they are two of the most important topics of GMAT Quant. Probably they don't register in your mind since you solve those questions easily and move ahead. Since you spend maximum on other topics which you are not very comfortable in, you feel you get 'all' questions from those topics only!) My suggestion for you would be to pick out your one weak area and check out the Veritas book (or any other really... since I have gone through all Veritas books, I am biased towards them) for that. See if you like it and can see something different and useful in it. Plus, try as many different questions as you can. The more concepts you come across, the better prepared you will be to handle GMAT questions.

Work on the MGMAT books, together with the OG, solving every problem from the OG the MGMAT books tell you to WHEN they tell you to, careful not to proceed further without understanding the concept and being able to execute quickly.
Work on the MGMAT online tests and CATs, dissecting every problem.
Work through the problems here, on GMATClub, timing them and logging the results in your workbook, revising every error or every question which took too long to solve. You have to work on some 700+ questions, otherwise your score will predictably converge to your old/previous level...
Be very honest about (keeping track of) your mistakes - record them religiously, together with the time it took to solve each question - if it took too long - consider it an error. No one will be seeing and judging you for making a large number of errors in your preparation - only you will, so record them, being brutally honest, and revise them - this is your best tool - your customized error log... it's like testing holes in your firewall or cracks in a dam...
Good luck!
