Potentially, yes
GMAT Focus includes “Data Insights,” which draws from integrated reasoning and data sufficiency style tasks (GMAC documentation describes Data Insights as a major section).
ETS acknowledges GMAT Focus has a Data Insights section and contrasts it with GRE structure.
But confirm your program’s preference
Some programs truly treat both equally; others may have historical norms.
1) If I’m strong in vocab/reading, pick GRE?
Often a good bet
GRE Verbal includes RC/TC/SE; strong reading + vocabulary control can create a big edge.
However
If your target is MBA and you’re weak in data analysis reasoning, GMAT Focus Data Insights might be harder.
2) Can I take both?
Yes
Schools may accept either, and some applicants take both to see which yields the strongest outcome.
Cautions
Time and money: GRE fees and retakes can add up.
If you take both repeatedly without improvement, it may look unfocused (this is an admissions perception issue, not ETS policy).
3) How do schools compare scores?
Most serious schools compare via percentiles and internal norms
GMAC explicitly emphasizes comparing percentiles rather than raw totals across editions (GMAT Focus vs prior GMAT).
For GRE, ETS provides annual interpretive/percentile data for interpretation.
Practical guidance
Use each test’s percentile tables and each school’s class profile (when available) rather than trying to “convert” scores with unofficial charts.
4) What about GRE Subject Tests?
When they matter
Subject Tests can matter for certain specialized programs (some STEM/psych programs, some competitive theory-heavy tracks), but many programs don’t require them.
Operational note (ETS)
ETS has moved Subject Tests to online delivery (noting the move in its shorter-test FAQ for score users).
Subject-test requirements are program-specific (again, department discretion).
