Hello all!

It has been about good handful of months since I quit my GMAT Prep. I started studying in May of last year and by mid October switched to GRE last minute. During the GMAT studying, I studied between 20-40 hours a week on Target Test Prep, GMAT Club, GMAT Ninja, and the official books. By the time I switched to GRE I was burnt out with test prep and couldn't bring myself to study anymore and ended up pushing my MBA applications another year. I'm thinking about studying for R1 applications but I do feel a little discouraged when I think about it. Do I try GMAT again or do GRE instead? Ideal score I want is to be competitive for Top 10 schools. Below find a table with my scores:
Hi MP02170,

Verbal is clearly a strength for you. If you are generally comfortable with the kind of vocab that's tested on the GRE (especially the hard questions), GRE verbal shouldn't be a problem for you. If you're not, you may need to use a vocab list. GRE quant is generally easier, so that's a positive as well. And given the "discouraged" bit, not having to work on DI could be a really good thing.

Although it seems like I'm recommending that you switch to the GRE, it's not that straightforward. Many applicants will need really, really high GRE scores to stand out (aiming for 330+ is not uncommon), so you should keep that in mind.
