So, I have GRE last week, scored 310 - V152 and Q158. I was preparing for GMAT and in that I scored Q49 so was quite disappointed with the GRE Q score.
I think 1st section of Math went good and so did second but the last one, don't know if it was experimental was weird, question were of sets and sequences, I just lost it as they were not straight forward, don't know if they were real or experimental.
How should I improve my score? I think in verbal, my reading messed up, was trying to be extra conscious but didn't work.
Thanks!!

Sorry, not a GRE expert here 
But GRE has its own flavor vs. GMAT since the time is so limited and while it is not adaptive, it is easy to make mistakes when time is tight. My suggestion is not to improvise on the test day and not trying to do anything new. If you have blazed through the RC in your practice tests, do not change that strategy. Any changes on the test day will be potentially damaging to your score.
Think of it this way - any time until about a week before the test is when you try to grow your score and improve it. After that - one week and until the day of the day of the test, you are just trying to protect that score that you were able to achieve a week ago. That should be the goal.
Hope it will be worth a penny or two
