GRE at home testing experience

Question

Not sure if there are lots of people on here curious about taking the GRE at home as opposed to the GMAT in the hopes of avoiding the horrendous online whiteboard. I have been studying for gmat for a couple of months and decided to take the leap thinking it could be a good way to avoid the online white board. I just wrote the test and overall I dont recommend it because what you gain in the quant section you will lose in the verbal (my opinion). The Quant section was definitely easier for me that gmat quant but verbal is just that much harder. 
Id be happy to share more if anyone has questions

For someone who has prepared for GMAT for a few months and haven't touched GRE, what are the pros and cons of GMAT vs GRE test. How much preparation time is required for GRE (Q80 percentile,v80 percentile), assuming one is currently at 70 percentile in GMAT Quant and 80 percentile in GMAT verbal?

Hey, I dont think that you will need any time to keep your quant score but in my own experience, you arent going to be able to walk over into gre and get that same verbal score. There is a really heavy focus on vocabulary and it is time consuming to memorize new words so youll need at least 3-4 weeks just to learn new words (unless youre really great at memorization!)
Id recommend you take the free practice test on the ets site and see how you do !

Gotcha. Keep in mind though that the major benefit of the online GMAT is that you don't actually have to submit the online GMAT score to schools unless you want to. So, essentially it’s a free crack at the GMAT.
