Did any one take (or studied for) both the GRE and GMAT? How do they compare? If I did good on the GRE (Q-94% and V-87%), does it mean I'm likely do good on the GMAT?
Thanks everyone!

GRE Verbal requires memorizing word list (3000+) in order to ace the antonym portion. GMAT verbal has Sentence Correction which is the toughest part to most test takers. Both exams have Reading comphrehension.

The quant on GMAT is supposed to be tougher, based on scores from those who have taken both exams.

I am not sure of the exact translation but here are some estimate.

GMAT - 650
equivalent to
GRE - 1350

I got this info from Universities that accept both exams. The school website would state a minimum of 650 is expected for GMAT and a 1350 for GRE.

Based on your GRE score/break down, I would guess you should hit the 700+ barrier on GMAT, however, I think you should at least look at the exam material and take a few sample exams from ETS (GMATprep - downloadable from their website).

sure verbal gmat is much harder since it totally depends on how much
u master the english language
consists of 3 parts:sentence correction,which i disagree with kt1 because u can ace that if u prepare well for it
critical reasoning,depends toatally on thy ability to read
and understand very short passages and reason about them
comprehension which is even harder than that in gre
because it is longer

but if u prepare well for gmat,u can do 700+
