I am using the Kaplan Foundations of Math as a starting point to brushing up for Quant. I am missing quite a few as I go through and looking for advice on how I can master these foundations since these are the building blocks to solving GMAT questions. Is looking for similar problems online and just solving a bunch in bulk the best route when struggling with these basics?
Ch. 1 Arithmetic drill set - 27/30 due to exponent and radical multiplication
Ch. 2 Divisibility drill set - 22/35 due to some factorization, larger prime number identifying, and questions like If n is divisible by both 196 and 15, is 270 a factor of n?
Ch. 3 Exponents & Roots drill 1 - 4/7 stopped here because I was getting discouraged. Mostly got multiplying/dividing exponent rules wrong here
For context I am in my professional career and out of school for 7 years, trying to brush up and take my best shot at the GMAT.

Hey, it can be tricky with refreshing.
Good on you for starting with the basics book. This will be very helpful in giving you a good foundation and hopefully a solid one too so you can stand on it through GMAT, MBA, and then the rest of your life. Trust me, you will have to use these skills when you kids start school
Seeing 22/35 shows that you have some gaps so I would track each of those 13 mistakes that you made and make sure you understand the concepts and how to solve the questions and then do another set of perhaps 10/20 questions until you feeling comfortable and get a high accuracy rate of perhaps 95%+ or something like that for the simpler topics.

Consider creating small examples of your own and getting used to manipulating the exponents. May help make the rules of exponents more familiar to you and dealing with exponents second nature.
