I started studying for the GMAT 2 months ago. I've been going through the OG and PR workbooks. My verbal is at best average but I feel like with practice, I can get that up a bit. I'm really concerned about quant. though. I feel like I'm lacking basic math skills and I'm really not doing well at all. I'm not even talking about working under timed conditions. My progress is painfully slow and there is just no way I'll be ready for my test on January 7th. I'll get killed. Can anyone suggest a good resource for quant? Does anyone know about the Kaplan workbook? Princeton review? I'm scheduled to start taking the PR course next week but I'm starting to think I should cancel because it's pointless if i dont know the basics. Any advice?

coltrane, you could have done many problems but did you REALLY analyze the problems and know why you got each one right AND wrong? It will be difficult for us to help you any further if you do not tell us more about your study approach and progress up until now.
As a first step, did you ever take any practice test like the Kaplan CD diagnostic? To learn the basics, I would recommend to start with PR math workbook and then move on to Kaplan800 book. OG is good only for the last 100 DS questions which may be overly difficult though. The math forums on this site have a wealth of resource and will help you with the fundamentals. Maybe you should go through the category based forum and start with the "basic" forum first and slowly progress towards the "intermediate" and then "advanced" categories.
I would suggest you postpone your exam if you can. There is just no point in doing something you're not ready to do. I will give you this link which may help you as a guideline: https://www.gmatclub.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=11176

Paul,
Thank you for your response and congratulations on your score.
With regards to quant, my approach has been to expose myself to as many different problems as possible. At the same time, I've really be trying to understand the concepts, as you mentioned. I haven't tested myself because I'm simply not ready. My PR course starts next week and I was going to use their tests to gauge my progress. I study around 3 hours during the week, except Friday and another 8-10 on the weekends so i have the dedication. I think your advise about postponing is good. I will definately need more time.
