Both the GMAT and the GRE have Reading Comprehension and Critical Reasoning. They are of somewhat similar difficulties.
The primary difference between the Verbal sections of the two tests is:
GMAT has Sentence Correction, in which you are given a partially underlined sentence which is either correct or to be corrected.
In GMAT SC, you need to know more grammar, sentence mechanics, and writing style.
GRE tests vocabulary through Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence.
In GRE Text Completion, you are given a sentence with one or more blanks and you must choose from a list of available words. If there are multiple blanks, it’s like a small puzzle because the word you choose in one blank affects the possible words in the other blanks.
In GRE Sentence Equivalence, you are asked to select one or more word pairs that would yield equivalent sentences.
In GRE, you need to memorize a few thousand vocabulary words. But not just any words! Don't waste your time learning archaic English.
