I'm taking the GRE in a month. I have looked at a few study guides from the library, and browsed through an online practice test. I haven't been in school for almost 10 years now, and I can't remember any of the math I once knew--I'll be fine on the verbal portion of the test, but I really need help with the quantitative section. Anyone have any recommendations?

I bought a Princeton Review book which was pretty good. They have great online resources to take practice tests. It's important to practice taking the test on a computer (not paper) since that is what you will do for the GRE.
The most important things you need for the quantitative section is geometry and algebra, plus a little trig.
The important thing to think about is that if you are not going into an area that emphasizes the quantitative section (i.e. if you are applying for an English masters program) your score won't be that important to them. You ten years of experience outside of school will reflect much more.

I took a Kaplan prep course, as I was in the same situation as you are. My math score was really helped by what I learned (I actually had a 350 in math on the SAT!), so I had a much higher total score on the GRE and got into grad school without a problem.
