Hello all
I have about 10+ years of work experience with 6 years of experience as a business manager. My target list of colleges are mainly from Europe, Australia and UK. I wish to get an mba degree in marketing. I have appeared for GMAT twice ( gmat classic score was 500 and GMAT focus score was 515) I have been preparing for gmat focus for another attempt but have not been able to scale my score above 595 in the mocks.
I gave official GRE mock and got a score of 302 (Q -156 V - 146) and also manhattan official GRE test got a score of 314 (Q - 159 V -155)
Should I switch to GRE? With my experience what is the average score that I should achieve in both the exams? Please help me in taking a decision as I have been preparing for GMAT for many years and not getting the desired score.

Hi ManifestMBAbay25,
Given your background and goals, either exam could work, since European, UK, and Australian MBA programs generally accept both the GMAT and GRE.
If you’ve been preparing for the GMAT for years without breaking through your score plateau, the GRE may give you a fresh start and could feel less frustrating. For your target schools, a competitive GMAT Focus score is typically around 605–635+, while a competitive GRE score is usually in the 315–325+ range.
Since your GRE mock scores are already in the low 300s without deep preparation (302 and 314), you may find it easier to push the GRE into the mid-310s than to move your GMAT Focus score significantly higher. In short, you’re not locked into the GMAT, and given where you stand now, switching to the GRE could be a smart move. For some additional advice, here is a helpful article you can check out:
