GRE vs GMAT : Final Considerations

For the GMAT, the Quantitative and Verbal scores are section scores, and these two section scores are combined to create the Total Score. The Total Score is the one most familiar to GMAT test takers, and it is given on the well-known 200 to 800 scale, with 200 being the lowest score and 800 the highest score. 

Final Considerations:

Now that you understand the most important differences between the GMAT and the GRE, do also consider the following before making a decision:

If at least one program that you MUST apply to do not accept the GRE, you do not really have a choice.

If you have very strong quant skills, but feel that your verbal skills (particularly vocabulary) are weaker, consider taking the GMAT. GMAT Verbal is heavily weighted towards reasoning and grammar whereas GRE Verbal ha an accent on vocabulary-in-context.

Both the Verbal and Quantitative sections are more reasoning based on the GMAT; the Data Sufficiency questions on GMAT Quant involve higher-order quantitative reasoning skills.

If you have very strong English skills (and if your vocabulary is stronger than your grammar knowledge), but feel less confident in math, consider taking the GRE.

If you are applying to a program focusing specifically on your Quantitative or Verbal scores (such as Engineering or English), consider taking the GRE.

The AWA section is more demanding on the GRE. However, B-schools do not consider this data point as important as other numbers in your application mosaic.

Finally, there is no IR section on the GRE though there is a DI set on GRE Math that has about 4 questions based on a DI set).

GOOD LUCK!
