Hi,

Usually when I come across someone in your situation, I recommend going out and getting yourself a good book to cover the math basics. Do not move into your full GMAT prep until you have refreshed yourself on the basics, as they are the foundations to all other Quant problems you will come across. If you are having difficulty determining your areas of weakness, I would try out a good adaptive course. You can try a free trial for one for a full week here (and it comes with a free sim test which can help you determine where you are at right now):
When do you plan on taking your GMAT? How long do you have to prepare?

Sincerely,
Evan

I plan to take the GMAT next summer, so I have about 9 months. I started out doing Khan Academy and going over all the old math from high school, but I think this approach could be overkill.

We (Manhattan Prep) have a book called Foundations of GMAT Math that covers all the basics and provides lots of drill.

Yes, you don't want to go and study 10 math areas out of which only 4 are tested on the GMAT. Chances are, you will be much better if you focus using one of the GMAT Math books or the MGMAT Foundations of GMAT Math or Kaplan Math Workbook - there are quite a few out there. Also, take a look at the study plan here: gmat-study-plan-for-gmat-novices-start-your-gmat-journey-80727.html (make sure you don't make this a 9-12 months journey and keep it under 6 months). This is not a leisure book club type of setting....This is a very competitive test.
