Has anyone decided to switch to the GRE instead of taking the GMAT and could PM to tell me how it went for them? Debating switching exams as I seem to score way better on verbal than quant on the GMAT and have not seen marginal improvements after 2 months of prep
Hi, I took both - you should visit our sister website (greprepclub). It’s like GMATClub but for GRE.
Both exams are similar, GRE quant is mildly easier than GMAT quant, both cover more or less the same concepts. GRE is somewhat heavier on Geometry than GMAT Classic
GRE Verbal is different in that you need to memorise some vocab, which is not required for the GMAT, and GRE verbal has a unique "text completion" and "sentence equivalency" questions which are unique to the GRE
You should try a GRE mock (maybe try a manhattan mock, which is decent for GRE) and see how it feels. GRE had a lot more time pressure in my experience.

I would also say that GRE Reading Comp is slightly harder than GMAT, but nothing to worry about imo.
