Hey friends,
I have started to prepare for GMAT, it almost 2 months and i have not finished sc completely,
and when i practice questions most of them are wrong. my TOEFL score is 80 and my level is intermediate.And im totally off about math, because my major was human science. Do you think its better for me to prepare for GRE or No?
Thank you

My perspective - I think it doesn't matter from a B-School perspective whether you get GRE or GMAT. They just convert GRE scores to GMAT using the ETS tool. The only time you will need GMAT is while applying for jobs and certain employers request for GMAT scores such as MBB consulting firms.
Regarding whether it is better for you, why don't you take a mock GRE exam and see if the format is something you feel comfortable with? If you have a weak vocabulary and strong quant skills, the GMAT is probably better. If GRE, strong vocabulary and weak math will suit better. Let me know what you decide to go with.
Found some more pointers on the forum from another user -
- The tests overlap on the Reading Comprehension section, so no matter what, you'll still need to be able to read passages
- The GMAT math is definitely more intensive than the GRE math. GRE has more geometry, but there aren't any questions like the GMAT's Data Sufficiency (though you shouldn't underestimate the difficulty of Quantitative Comparison and Data Interpretation.)
- The GRE verbal is heavily focused on vocabulary. This might actually be helpful to somebody who doesn't want to deal with difficult sentence correction questions or critical reasoning. Neither of these appear on the GRE, (the GRE has sentence completion, which has more to do with vocab than grammar.)

TOEFL 80 is not upto the mark for BSchools. If you are not yet done with SC giving a GMAT mock would not make sense. Giving a mock actually helps you know your current level which you can work upon. There is no differentiator nowadays between GRE and GMAT as far as applications are concerned. Try giving one mock of both the tests to know yourself. However, take note that GMAT verbal is different than GRE's. RC is more or less same, differs because of format only. GRE verbal is inclined towards vocabulary so i think your human science background should help, though it again boils down to your current level.
Major difference in format is that in GMAT you can't come back to previous questions, which you can do in GRE.
