Hi!
Let me tell you a bit more, a few days ago I did my gmat and scored 530 42Q and 21V. Leaving the building I was confident about retaking the exam, the problem is that there are no more available dates for the GMAT in my country (Mexico) only after the application deadline.
I have seen the differences between GMAT and GRE but I dont understand them at all, still wanted to ask if anybody in this community has an experience or an advice which i would gladly appreciate.

GRE is not necessarily easier than GMAT per se.
GRE Quant can be arguably easier than GMAT Quant in the sense that the most difficult GRE math question is much easier than toughest GMAT question. For GRE, I could hit 170 but in GMAT I am consistently at 50.
GRE Verbal and GMAT verbal test somewhat different areas. They both test reading comprehension, and GRE's Reading is tougher than GMAT's. GMAT also covers SC and CR. In GRE, there will be one CR question in each verbal section and generally easier than tough CR questions in GMAT. But then, SC is unique to GMAT while Sentence completion and equivalence are unique in GRE. It is hard to compare apples vs. orange, but I think GRE is harder because test takers must spend quite some time improving their vocabulary. Those so-called GRE vocabulary words are important for academic writing and reading, but are not commonly encountered in newspapers or popular books. In GMAT, the vocabulary difficulty is lower.

Hi carolinatrum ...
Welcome to Gmatclub. I do not know what is your target score and application deadline. I think it is better to wait for the next deadline and utilize the gap to prepare more. Just after giving 1 GMAT exam, you should not move to GRE. People do it but after failing in several GMAT attempts. It could be that you are good in GRE, you can check it by giving a mock exam. Also, it is recommended to talk with ad-com of your targeted school about your intention. I am sure he/she will guide you and inform you the minimum requirements of GRE. If you want to stick on GMAT, then you can look for some online prep courses. Most of the courses have a trial period and you can check which one suits you best. All the best.
