GMAT to GRE (test in 20 days!)

Hi everyone,
Im new to this forum as Ive been studying for a few months for the GMAT and now test centres in my city (Toronto) have now been suspended due to COVID19, so the option I have from my school of choice is to do the online GMAT or the online GRE.
Those who choose to take the online GMAT seems to be disadvantaged since the online GMAT only allows the on screen "Whiteboard" which requires the use of a mouse for formula/equation writing (which greatly increases the amt of time needed to complete each question, hence negatively impacts the score imo). I believe the online GRE allows a physical whiteboard and dry erase pen (as per the website). So Im debating between taking the online GRE (which I have not studied for) or the online GMAT (I think my score will be low given the online whiteboard).

Would I need to study from scratch for GRE? If so, is a 20day timeline sufficient without paying for a course?
Any input would be greatly appreciated =) Thank you all kindly!

Hi amd welcome to the board.
Well, it all depends on which plateau you kick-off.
For example, you have 720 as score in your GMAT mock test and probably for the quant side, you are ok. The concepts tested are similar. However, you could need a breath for the verbal section which is different.
The first thing to do is to give the powerpreplus online which is the free software and see what is going on, in an akin test environment and timed test.
You can find it on the online ETS website.
Then see where you stand.
Ask for further assistance.
Regards

Thank you for your prompt response! I will look for the test provided by ETS. Is the Powerplus test timed or would I time it myself? Am I correct in saying that the online GRE allows a physical whiteboard and dry erase pen for notes?
thank you!
