Has anyone Tried the GRE - GMAT Comparison Tool?

Has Anyone with Both GRE and GMAT experience tried this tool? I have: after studying the GMAT like an obsessed mad man last year, Life got in the way (new job, being a single parent, etc) and I put the books down. More than 8 months passes by when I picked up 4 of the 5 MGMT books and read through them again. Then, I took the GRE power prep and scored a 660Q, 670V. My relatively low quant score was not unexpected, as I believe in mastering fundamentals first and then mastering the test itself second, as these are two completely different study medias to me. Anyway, I punched my score into the convertor and it predicted a "640" GMAT. I then took the MGMT first GMAT exam and actually scored a 640. So, at least in this case, the tool was dead on! I found this interesting.

On a side note, I am actually happy that prior to mastering the actual exam itself, I am at a 640 baseline. I seemed to miss just as many 700 800 questions as I missed 500 level questions, which tells me that I musr re-learn how to think like the test maker. By carefully understanding wrong answers, from both a logic and from a fundamental point of view, I am 100% certain that I left 100 points on the table. Also, I scored a 720 on the paper test 10+ years ago. I am one of the only people in the world that feels that the paper exam, the GMAT PoewrPrep, the GMAT Prep and the Actual GMAT all correlate to (idiomaticaly correct?)each other fairly the same. Ya, the paper tests have generally easier questions, but the curve itself is absolutely brutal!

Cool! I haven't seen that tool before. I just plugged in my GRE score from last Dec and it was within 10 points of my highest GMAT score.

Thanks for posting!
