Yes, the GRE quant is definitely easier than GMAT quant. But It's not such an easy decision to make and there are a few things to consider before deciding to take the GRE over the GMAT :

    1. Although the number of schools accepting the GRE is rising, you must keep in mind that not all B-schools accept GRE for MBA. Make it a point to check if the schools you want to apply to accept GRE scores for MBA before you choose which test to take.

    2. Keep in mind that a score of 326 on the GRE will convert to a GMAT 700. So I would recommend you to take the Free GRE mock test provided by ETS and if you are sure of getting a 326+ score on the GRE, then you can go ahead and apply.

    3. The GMAT test is of around 3 hours while the GRE test is around 3 hours and 45 minutes.

Hi Emilio95,

Assuming the schools to which you plan to apply equally weight the GRE and GMAT, if you find you excel at the GRE, then there is no reason not to take it. That said, the next thing you should do is take a full length ETS GRE practice exam so you can get a beeline score. You can find the exams here:

https://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/prepare/

Once you take the practice exam, feel free to reach back out with any further questions.

Lastly, this article contains some helpful information regarding the differences between the GMAT and GRE:
