GRE vs GMAT math preparation

Hi everyone,
I know this is a weird question but...
I've been studying for the GMAT (I bought an online course (Economist GMAT Tutor) & some books) and now I'm realizing some programs I'm applying to will only take the GRE and I'm a bit pressed for time.
I'm just wondering if you guys think the foundations of my math preparation for the GMAT will be good enough for me to approach GRE practice questions?
I know there's nothing on data analysis in the GMAT but most of the other concepts are pretty similar, right?
Please let me know what you guys think or have experienced!
Thank you so much!

Hello Cliffness,
Both GRE and GMAT, as most standardized tests do, test the fundamentals of Math and English. There are certain distinct differences in the test pattern. It is difficult to ascertain if your GMAT prep would suffice for the GRE without taking a practice test. GRE Quant section is easier than GMAT Quants. The greatest difference is that GRE has a built in calculator on the Quant section. Furthermore there are Data Interpretation questions along with the traditional topical questions in the Quant section.
You can easily evaluate your current level by taking one of the tests freely available online. Here is a list of available tests.
