How bad is a 300 cold score for GRE without any studying? Forgot really basic math concepts which I wish I reviewed beforehand. Trying to aim for 330 with 6-8 months prep.

Not a bad first attempt. Depends what you got wrong but 330 is possible. Get GregMat.

Thank you!

Not bad and doable with 6-8 months. I was around a 306 -> 332 after 6 months dedicated prep (6-8 hours a week). Agree with D1, get GregMat and the official GRE questions/guide and have fun with it
