GMAT vs. GRE

Should I take the GMAT or the GRE?

General

1) If you know which schools you want to apply to first see which test(s) they accept

2) G.R.E. is less expensive ($140 in the US and $180 in Europe) than the GMAT ($250)

3) Many people do worse on the GMAT math when they first take a practice test because most people have never encountered a data sufficiency problem which takes some getting used to.

Verbal

The GRE uses questions that require a much larger vocabulary than the GMAT.

The GMAT has a grammar section that the GRE doesn't have. In this section you are given a sentence and asked to correct it.

The GMAT has logic questions that are not on the GRE. In general this sections tests your ability in argument construction, argument evaluation, and formulating and evaluating a plan of action.

A good indicator

One thing you can do is take a practice test of each and compare your scores. Use ONLY official tests since other tests may be inaccurate. You can find official tests on both the GMAT's and GRE's official websites

Remember though, Data sufficiency problems have a definite learning curve so don't be scared away from the GMAT just because you didn't do well on them. If time is a factor (as it usually is) one of the big questions is whether or not you can learn vocabulary (a couple thousand words) or grammar faster (a couple hundred rules).
