PS,I saw an exact TPA from gmat focus on the exam ( I still got it wrong ), I am targeting 655+. I feel so bad after DI. I did not get stuck in one problem in DI. I did a lot of prep on DS and still there are a lot of DS questions . I feel like if I switch to GRE, I have higher chance of scoring 330+ given my decent verbal and quant.
On the last question on DI,I forgot to hit submit, I have chosen the choices but I though the exam will automatically take the answer. apparently not[/color]

Hey! Sorry about the DI craziness and that's insane you actually saw one of the TPA's on the exam.
I can imagine the frustration to have missed a question you have solved in the past. This would have killed me. I did not allow myself (as much as possible to make the same mistake twice). This was a standard I tried to hold myself to (besides the careless errors - I dealt with them at the end). Anyway, but that's not the main point.
I would say 595 is not that far from 655 and perhaps with a few snags that you encountered your real score may have been around 635 or so. What were your practice tests?
I think it should always be a consideration to take the GRE potentially. Schools accept both and if you feel strong about it, I would definitely consider taking a practice test without too much studying. We had a person last year who tried to take the GMAT but was screwed by the exchange rate somehow and short on money so she registered for the GRE (which is cheaper) and took it cold and got a 334 or something crazy like that, so it may not take more than just a day or a few days. I think this should not even be a poll... you should just take a practice test.
P.S. Seems like a bad test experience perhaps, esp with the last question. Sorry, yes, you have to submit these days...

The fact that you're asking this question in a poll tells me that GMAT prep is still broken.
It's truly incredible how many test takers are still "in the dark" -- having no idea why they are not hitting their target score. Why? Because self diagnostics is still just 50% visibility on your gaps. Even if your prep plan is primarily self study on its own or in combination with an online prep tool, the absence of any performance coaching, at least diagnostics, makes no sense.
If you want your decision to be rock solid about switching to the GRE (and leaving the application boosting value of a great GMAT score behind), then you have the option of our FREE diagnostic session with a GMAT performance coach. It's 1 - 1.5 hours of live diagnostic coaching in a test like online environment.
(no obligation to buy. no selling. just incredible insights that will make your GRE with decision a lot clearer.)
DM if you're interested. I'd love to help you figure this out.
