GRE or GMAT: PhD in OB/Strategy

[socguy2]

For someone who wants to apply to OB/Strategy, which test is better? From what I've read online, it sounds like the GRE has a slightly easier math section. While I'm pretty good at math, I am better at verbal, which makes me lean towards taking the GRE. I know that almost all business schools accept either one, but I'm wondering if they secretly view one as better than the other.

GMAT is "preferred" more often than GRE; though Stanford OB requires GRE only.

Also OB and strat are quite different; which are you interested in?

For schools I was considering, I found the GMAT much more widely accepted than the GRE. While some schools would accept either, in those cases where there is one standard -- it was always the GMAT.

Since I was looking at mostly econ programs I focused on the GRE. I only applied to one business program (marketing) and my GRE score was pretty good so they didn't require me to take the GMAT and converted using the tool below.

I am not sure that the GRE is any "easier", the main difference I found was that the GRE has Quantitative Comparison questions while the GMAT uses Data Sufficiency, otherwise the content is pretty comparable. (Though I hear many struggle with Data Sufficiency people I know who practiced them found they did pretty well on them.)

It seems like the two tests are highly correlated: Here's a link to a comparison tool GRE: For Institutions: GRE Comparison Tool and a good explanation of the correlation.
