It's an entirely different exam and sometimes people who don't do well on the GMAT do better on the GRE on a percentile basis.

Compared to the GMAT, the math is relatively easier though the curve is less forgiving. It's also much more (English) vocabulary focused whereas the GMAT is more about sentence correction and reading comprehension.

We are not saying that you will necessarily do better, but if you are tapping out at a 650 on the official scores for the GMAT, sometimes it can be helpful to look at the other exam. The problem is that if you don't have a strong command of the English language, time can work against you as it would take time to master a sufficient bank of words to do well.

The Manhattan mock exams are good but they are not the same as the actual GMAT through GMAC. Keep that in mind in terms of setting expectations accordingly.
