Hmm. Do you know the verbal and quant average scores are for the programs you're applying to?
I am
at math, so I studied quant since summer and did aight, but the programs i'm applying to don't have high quant averages to begin with. I have a pretty good vocabulary, so I didn't study it at all and received an above average score.

From personal experience, the gre was easier than the act or sat.
No need to pay for a course, just buy one of those test books from Kaplan or Princeton review.
But make sure you go over algebra and geometry cuz a lot of that stuff was on there and you'd be surprised how easy it is to forget middle school math and formulas once it's in your face.

averages are
Average GRE score (new test):
150 verbal 151 quantitative
I struggle with math as well. so i'll really need to study that aspect

150 Verbal should be easy peasy. If you study, getting 151 quant is definitely a possibility. Like Dollface said, the math is predominantly algebra and geometry, plus trigonometry, so just go over the basics from those. Khan Academy was what I used, for the most part.

I took both the gre and gmat for business school. My gre score was good enough to get me into the msm program but my gmat wasn't enough for the mba program so I ended up doing like 9 credits of msm then transferred to another school for the mba program.
