Hi guys
Is it easier to achieve 550 on GMAT starting from 400 (Q21,V20) or to achieve 145 (in both Q,V) on GRE starting from Q141,V141?
Considering one month to prepare
Edit: today I took another GRE official practice test and I scored Q145 V144, my target score.
Therefore I think this test suits my situation more.

You can easily make a jump in GMAT quant into late thirties, hardly any prep needed if your basic cognitive skills in maths are good. As for GRE, I don't know and I didn't prepare for it because I wanted to go to Business Schools
Also, Verbal can be a little tricky but you still can get to V27, with little to no effort so, I would say you can get there depending on some variables

Hello, xzip03, and welcome to the forum. I work with students all the time who are preparing for either test, sometimes with no more than a month to study. In my experience, and looking objectively at those two scores, I would suggest the GRE® benchmark to be the easier mark to hit. Four points on Verbal and Quant can be made up in a week with dedicated study, but rarely have I seen a 150-point jump in a GMAT™ score without some serious effort. At such a starting point, you would have to put in a lot of time studying the theory in Quant and the grammar rules and strategies for Verbal. By comparison, the GRE® Quant is less difficult, and although the Verbal portion of the test does tax vocabulary more so than the GMAT™, there are no sentences to correct, and there are far fewer Critical Reasoning questions (which fall under a different label). In terms of the content, then, you would have to assess your relative strengths and weaknesses on each question type across both tests.
It is worth considering your end goal, though, before choosing a test. If all the programs you are thinking of applying to accept the GRE®, then that is probably the better bet within the timeframe you have outlined. But if there is even one school that requires the GMAT™, then you will have to either take the test or ditch that school. Whatever you decide, you should make an informed decision.
Good luck.
