You can skip and return to questions on the GRE. You can't with the GMAT. So if you have timing issues, which your low LSAT score suggests, you want to take the GRE.
However, there may be several correct answers to multiple choice questions on the GRE. i.e., A, B, and C may all be correct, and you have to mark them as such, or you get no credit. If you've been getting by on clever guesswork on multiple choice questions, as your low LSAT score suggests, this can be a total mindfuck. |

I think it was just shortly before they made the most recent changes to the test, including the changed score scale. If they significantly changed the substance of the test, I guess my statement could be suspect. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2158223&forum_id=2#22418001) |

Date: January 12th, 2013 3:40 PM Author: Stirring Jade Keepsake Machete Headpube i did fine. it was low 700s. it was just surprising because the percentile score was so low. i got a much lower score on verbal but did better on it percentile wise.
i'm just saying having taken both gmat was way easier. as easy as gre math is supposed to be, gmat math is ridiculously easy. |

Date: January 12th, 2013 6:38 PM Author: Transparent messiness theatre It sounds easier to achieve an impressive sounding GMAT score than GRE score, because the quant and verbal is added to form one score -- and apparently you can compensate for a bad math score with a strong verbal score.
But goddamn, studying sentence correction is tedious. And in my experience, hard GMAT problems are more difficult than hard GRE problems; yet, it seems, that correctly answered difficult GMAT problems lead to an elite score, whereas correctly answered difficult GRE problems lead only to an OK score (too many engineers w/ perfect scores). |
