Hi,
I will apply to dual degree MS+MBA program this year and I will have to take both GMAT and GRE. Currently I'm preparing for GMAT retake and my preparation is in good shape. My current GMAT score is 720 and I want to have a 760 in next two months. After GMAT I plan to take GRE. My question is how much time would I need to prepare for GRE after GMAT? I will aim for 99%ile in both GRE and GMAT. How much of my GMAT preparation will help me for GRE. I have heard that GRE requires a good vocab. Considering that I have decent vocab and given that I have done well on GMAT, can I expect that I will be done with GRE well before the deadlines for sept/oct?
Regards
Tarun

Hello Tarun,
In my opinion if you are already hitting 720 in GMAT. you are already in a good position to score 99percentile in GRE. The general consensus is that the quant section of GMAT is tougher than GRE and GRE verbal is a bit tougher than GMAT. I think even one month is enough for GRE preparation after your GMAT exam. You should target 170 in the quants section in GRE, that will put you in a good position.

Thanks Soumya for your views. Can you please suggest me the optimal resources that I can cover in a month? I will mainly focus on Verbal as my quant skills are decent and I only plan to solve quant through practice tests. Thanks for your help.
