Better to take the GMAT or GRE for Business / Graduate School?

Is it better to take the GMAT or GRE for Grad School / MBA?

Does anyone have experience with taking these exams and have insight on how to best study for them?

Unsure, was leaning towards potentially studying for the GRE since it could apply to either business school or graduate school depending on what I choose to study, however, I wanted to get some opinions on this from people who were more familiar with the process as of recent.

 

If you want to apply to mba, isn't GMAT the primary standardized exam they use to measure applicants?
