Well, for some of you, the math on the test will be tough because tenth grade was a long, long time ago.
However, the quantitative part of the GRE doesn't just test whether or not you remember all the pre-algebra you learned as a teenager. For example the question on the previous page really tests your ability to reason through a problem and to spot a pattern. So, the GRE measures not only how well you can do basic math, but also how well you can think critically and creatively about problems. That's what makes the questions so tough.
Furthermore, on the test you will only have, on average, two minutes to answer each question, which makes the whole thing even more difficult. In other words, you are also being tested on your ability to focus and to perform efficiently under pressure. If you keep in mind the three things you will be tested on (basic math skills, reasoning ability, focus/working under pressure), then it will be easier to know what to study and how.
