Hey! First of all, I hope everything's going well in Arizona! Regarding the GRE...
I studied for about 3 months (not every day... maybe about 3-4 hours a week) and most of that was trying to re-memorize the math formulas. I recommend you get either the Kaplan book to study. You can pick that up at any bookstore. There are test examples and study/test tips.
As far as the math, you'll want to re-memorize the basic formulas. There's nothing overly complicated. The Pathagorean theorum was on there a few times.
In general for the exam, just make sure you get some good sleep starting a few nights before the test. Also, the writing section is the very first part of the test. Probably won't be a problem for you, but it's something to be aware of. Another thing you should know is one section of the test won't be scored... it's just for statistical purposes. That means that you'll have to take two parts of math or two parts of verbal, but only one will count. Unfortunately, they don't tell you which one counts and which one doesn't count. It's just something to be aware of.
Finally, just pace yourself with the exam. They are timed portions. I had plenty of time, though so don't worry about that part too much.
