What does test anxiety really look like on the GMAT? For many test takers, it does not look like a panic attack. Instead, it shows up as brain fog, rereading, negative comparisons, mental noise....

Hello GMAT experts,
I had prepared several months before switching to GRE and actually took GRE this year. I got 318=Q165+V153.
Now I am again oscillating between GRE and GMAT because of the verbal section.
I want to push my score above GMAT 700+ or GRE 325+ mainly by improving my verbal score. And here is the main question. Which one is more realistic in terms of achieving the desired score within a month or two but no more than that.
I converted my GRE verbal score to GMAT verbal and it was v30. So my target score on verbal is GRE 160+ or GMAT 40.
I searched on the internet looking for some answers but could not find any useful ones.
Hope for some advice.
BR,

Hi Khulan,
Since you've taken the Official GRE, I assume that you already know that the Verbal portion of that Exam places a far greater emphasis on your knowledge of vocabulary (and when to use certain words instead of others) than the Verbal section of the GMAT does. From your post history, it appears that you have put in some significant study for the GMAT, but have you actually taken the Official GMAT yet (and if you have, then how did you score?)?
It's worth noting that you do NOT need to score a V40 on the GMAT to earn an Overall Score of 700+, so we'll need to better define your overall timeline and goals before we can properly plan out this next phase of your studies (and which Exam you should focus on):
1) When did you take the Official GRE? How long did you study beforehand and what GRE study materials did you use?
2) How long have you studied for the GMAT? How many hours do you typically study each week?
3) What GMAT study materials have you used so far?
4) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

Hi Rich,
Thank you for your response.
I have not taken the GMAT exam yet, but I took the GMAT mock 1 from mba.com and got 580 (q47, v23) in March 2020.
1. I took the GRE in January 2021. I prepared from October until the exam day. The main study materials were the official guide, big book, manhattan 5 lb, and "Word power made easy" for vocabulary. Moreover, I subscribed gregmat for 3months.
2. For the GMAT, I could not focus on my preparation since I had to daycare my 8-month-old baby.
3. I worked on the official guide and manhattan series.
4. I took only 1 mock at the beginning of the study.
5. I plan to apply for 2022 entry to ideally top 10 MBA program. Especially Columbia Business School. (my husband will graduate from CBS this year.)
BR,

Hi Khulan,
If it's been 11 months since you last took a practice GMAT CAT/mock, then we don't have much of an idea of your current 'ability level' in that Exam right now (and it's possible that while studying for the GRE, you honed some skills that would help you score higher on the GMAT). As such, you might consider taking a NEW practice GMAT (you can access 2 for free from www.mba.com) so that we can define your current skills, strengths and weaknesses. Once you have that Score, you should post back here and we can discuss the results.
If it turns out that you're scoring at the same general level as before (in the high-500s), then you would almost certainly find it easier to continue studying for the GRE (since picking up those additional 7 points should take far less effort than raising your GMAT Score 100+ points).
1) Going forward, how many hours do you think you can consistently study each week?
