GMAT Inequalities is a high-frequency topic in GMAT Quant, but many students struggle because the concepts behave differently from standard algebra. Understanding the right rules, patterns, and edge cases can significantly improve both speed and accuracy.- May 06

I know this is a GMAT forum, but my GMAT study has been extremely disconcerting, and with only three weeks to go now, and I am thinking I need to try the GRE. I took a diagnostic test, and although my score didn't seem to be much better than what I was scoring on the GMAT, the test definitely felt more comfortable to me.
So I am wondering -- has anyone out there gotten into a top 20 MBA program with the GRE? What was your score and where were you admitted? I am just curious as the GRE scores are not published widely like the GMAT scores?
Also, how did you study? Do you know of where I can get a very solid study plan? I would prefer to take the test in three weeks [crazy, I know, but I have so many work trips after then I think it would be hard to study], and hoping some of this GMAT prep [Knewton online course] will be of help. If I am going to do this, I need to completely switch gears NOW as time is running out!
I just took the diagnostic GRE test with no studying. I realized that I would have a lot of vocabulary to learn, and since I hadn't gotten to reviewing geometry in the GMAT study, this would be important. I would also need to keep my mind focused on Reading Comprehension. Either way, I scored:
V- 154
Q- 155
This is how my GMAT scores have been:
6/14/2008: 540 (Q- 29, V- 36) [did this with minimal studying 5 years ago]
6/14/2013: 570 (Q- 35, V- 34) [Diagnostic to start my GMAT prep]
7/2/2013: 540 (Q- 30, V- 35)
7/28/2013: 540 (Q- 30, V- 35)
Sadly enough, if I can't get anything up to the 700ish range I am probably wasting my time on these applications. Sad
If the switch does seem worth the effort, I have a few questions that someone might have some answers to:
1. How do you switch gears from studying for the GMAT to the GRE? What information should I continue to use/study in my brain?
2. On that note, I have been using the Knewton software to study for the GMAT, and I have access to the MGMAT set of books [thanks, b-school neighbor!]. Should I continue at least the math sections [without Data Sufficiency] in these materials? What of this can I continue to use? What other things should I add to my collection?
3. I have read so many negative articles about why you should take the GMAT and not the GRE. But would it be better for me to score well [hopefully] on the GRE instead of poorly on the GMAT? And on that note, I feel like I need a more valid excuse as to why I took the GRE instead of the GMAT if someone asks... anyone got a good-sounding reason?
4. Has anyone done this before? Lessons learned? Advice on how to do this in three weeks?

I just took another GRE practice test, two days after the first one mentioned here. It was with Princeton Review, so I hope it is reliable!
After two days:
Quant: 155 --> 158
Verbal: 154 --> 160
This is making me think it is worth switching... I didn't even study beyond playing a vocabulary game on my phone and reviewing some geometry during my GMAT prep.
Anyone know how to make the switch, with 3 weeks to go?!
