I scored a 700 mainly due to lack of speed and being stumped by 1-3 relatively difficult questions on number theory - the rest is due to genuine lack of facility in math. Most preparation materials don't include the more difficult questions.

I have 10 days, on vacation, to prepare. This is my planned regimen. Please tell me how I can make it more efficient and effective.

Every day:
ETS MATH Review for Practicing to Take the GRE
GRE for Dummies (math only)
Peterson's Mastering the GRE (MAth section only)
ETS Practicing to take the GRE General Test math only
Cliffnotes Math Review for standardized tests
GMAT math section
Princeton Review GRE Math Subject Test: number theory, sets, combinatorics only
GRE Math Prep Course (Nova's GRE Prep Course)
Kaplan GRE Exam Math Workbook
McGraw-Hill's GRE

PowerPrep Test 2, and Math Practice as well as Barron's 3 Sample Tests

I one comment to make on that. Why practice for the GMAT? Practicing for the GRE should be enough. Good luck!

Because GMAT math problems are tougher compared to the GRE. ALmost all GRE study guides significantly underestimate the difficulty of today's problems.
