Hi everyone. Wondering if I could get some advice regarding switching to the GRE from the GMAT.
I have been studying for the GMAT for almost a year now. I’ve always been a strong English student and tend to have a better time with the Verbal than the Quant. Just took a mock today and scored only 450 (a 78% scaled score on Verbal and abysmally only 2% on the Quant). This is alarming given the amount of studying I have put in (I’ve used the
Manhattan books, OG, and completed several units on TTP for as long as I could commit to paying for the program) and the amount of practice questions I’ve been through. Though I definitely panicked on Quant and had some timing issues, I’m at a loss on what to do right now as I want to apply to my target schools end of March 2024 (both have a recommended GMAT score of 600). I feel my application is quite well rounded otherwise, it is just this exam that is holding me back.
Would I realistically have a better time with the GRE? I’ve heard from many candidates who have said they find it less challenging on the Quant side. I’m wondering if I should cut my losses now and just switch. If anyone has advice to offer would very much appreciate it!
