So I’ve taken the dreaded GMAT 3 times now with highest score of 590 (Q33 V38). Getting 650/640 on practice tests ☹️ and I only need a 650. Should I switch to the GRE? I love vocabulary so I’m not scared by that, but clearly quant is my struggle.
Did Manhattan self guided prep January - March and been working with a tutor from April - July. Trying to get in the 320 range for GRE by September. Thoughts?

I think GRE is a viable alternative! Esp if you refer to the GMAT as "dreaded"
(one of the keys to doing well on the GMAT is taking interest in the test and while hatred is totally acceptable, you want to take keep interest in it, rather than come with the mindset that considers it is stupid/annoying/etc)I have not taken the GRE personally but I have heard many people say that specifically Quant is meaningfully more straightforward on the GRE.
Here are the average GRE Scores: https://greprepclub.com/forum/average-g ... 22116.html by the way from last season (this is those who started their MBA in 2020). You can see that Ross had a sub 320 average GRE... so it is a good opportunity potentially if you are good with Vocab and want to shave off some quant discomfort.
P.S. I also found that the GRE and GMAT prep are pretty similar. We have had a few people take GRE cold after acing the GMAT and be able to get comparable results. Have you taken a GRE practice test yet? (I would perhaps do a few days of GRE review and take a practice test to see where you can get on the board).

You can definitely switch, but for what it's worth... I can't say I've ever seen a student switch and do meaningfully better on the test they switched to. The tests test very similar skills, and the fact is--they're both a 'race.' Your score is compared to the population. It doesn't matter if the race is uphill, downhill, flat, whatever... You in the 75th percentile on one test means you'll be pretty likely 75th percentile on the other.
