Hey,
I’m Sparsh Attri, and I’m planning to pursue an MBA in the 2026 intake. I’ve attempted the GRE twice so far. My first attempt didn’t go well due to a lack of preparation, and despite performing well in my mock tests for the second attempt, my actual exam score was disappointing. My mock scores ranged between 316-324 across various platforms like Manhattan, ETS, and Magoosh, which had given me confidence. However, I ended up scoring 300, which has shaken my test-taking confidence and made me hesitant about another GRE attempt.
Now, I’m considering switching to the GMAT, but I’ve received mixed opinions on this decision. Some people support the switch, while others advise me to refine my approach and retake the GRE. My quant performance in the GRE was strong, consistently scoring between 160-170 in mocks, while my verbal was initially weaker but improved to a range of 156-160. I’d love to hear insights from those who have transitioned from the GRE to the GMAT to help me make a more informed decision.

Hi
mmmhh tough call. If you for the GMAT you should almost implement a new strategy. DI, DS and so forth.
Instead, improving on the GRE could be the best bet for you.
A good vocabulary and a more in-depth understanding of TC/SE could make the difference.

Switching from the GRE to the GMAT can be a strategic decision, but it depends on your strengths and target schools. Since your quant scores are strong but verbal has been inconsistent, consider whether GMAT Verbal might suit you better. GMAT Verbal tends to be more logic-focused, whereas GRE Verbal emphasizes vocabulary. If you struggled with time management or test-day anxiety, working on those areas could improve your GRE score significantly. However, if you feel the GMAT format aligns better with your strengths, switching may be worthwhile. Assess official GMAT practice tests before deciding.
