This linear estimate is an MBA House illustration, not GMAC’s official scoring algorithm. No accuracy range is guaranteed. Its percentile is the lookup for the estimated total, not a prediction of your result. Use your Official Score Report for your actual score. See official GMAT scoring guidance.
Enter a valid current score ending in 5; invalid values are not rounded into a different score. Percentiles and linked retired-scale ranges use the GMAC August 2026 score concordance table, covering July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2026.
The current GMAT total runs from 205 to 805 in 10-point steps, and each section is scored from 60 to 90 (official GMAT scoring guidance). In the August 2026 table, 645 corresponds to 85.6%, 685 to 95.1%, and 705 to 97.5%. The retired-scale linked ranges are 690–700, 730–740, and 750, respectively (GMAC August 2026 score concordance table). A score of 700 is not a valid current-format total.
How this GMAT section-score estimate works
GMAC bases the total on performance across all three sections, with equal section weighting. Your Official Score Report is the authority for your result (official GMAT scoring guidance).
The optional estimator above uses this simple linear model to illustrate the scale:
Illustrative total = (Quant + Verbal + Data Insights − 180) × 20/3 + 205We round the model result to the nearest valid total. This is not an official GMAC formula or a validated prediction interval; do not treat the output as a promised score, a substitute for an official practice exam, or evidence that one section-point gain will cause a fixed change in your real total.
If you already have a reported total, use the default percentile-lookup tab instead. That tab retrieves the published table value directly rather than estimating your total.

GMAT Focus vs classic GMAT: what your score converts to
Use linked score ranges rather than subtracting a fixed number from an old score. The rows below are derived from the same GMAC August 2026 score concordance table; one retired score may link to more than one current score.
Most-cited conversions between the two scales
| Old GMAT | GMAT Focus | Percentile |
|---|---|---|
| 760 | 715–735 | 98.6–99.4% |
| 750 | 695–715 | 96.9–98.6% |
| 740 | 685–695 | 95.1–96.9% |
| 730 | 675–685 | 94.0–95.1% |
| 720 | 665–675 | 91.2–94.0% |

| 600 | 555–565 | 47.4–50.4% |
| 550 | 515–525 | 31.6–34.0% |
Where a single classic score maps to a range of Focus scores, that reflects differences in score bin sizes between the two scales rather than any ambiguity in the data.
Why this matters for your applications. Before comparing your result with a school’s class profile, confirm which exam scale and entering class it reports. For example, a retired-scale 730 links to current scores 675–685 in the GMAC August 2026 score concordance table. Read the exam-version comparison for the format differences.
Section percentiles: Quant, Verbal, and Data Insights
Quant, Verbal, and Data Insights share a 60–90 section scale, but percentile rankings describe different distributions. The Quant and Verbal tables below use GMAC’s August 2026 concordance release; do not compare percentiles as though they were section scores.

Data Insights
Check your Official Score Report for the current Data Insights percentile. We have not verified a matching August 2026 table for this section, so an older table is not presented as current.
Quant and Verbal values are rounded to the nearest tenth in the linked official releases, covering July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2026. We do not infer current means or standard deviations from percentile tables.
What is a good GMAT Focus score?
There is no universal score that guarantees admission. Compare your result with the latest class profile for each target program, check the exam scale, and consider your full application. Percentile rankings describe test performance, not admissions probability.
The score-specific answers below use the GMAC August 2026 score concordance table. For exam basics and U.S. registration, see the GMAT exam guide.
Is 645 a good GMAT score?
A 645 is at the 85.6% percentile in GMAC’s August 2026 table and links to 690–700 on the retired scale (GMAC August 2026 score concordance table). Whether it suits your application depends on the program, entering class, and the rest of your profile. It does not guarantee admission or place you above every school’s median.
Is 665 a good GMAT score?
A 665 is at the 91.2% percentile in GMAC’s August 2026 table and links to 710–720 on the retired scale (GMAC August 2026 score concordance table). Whether it suits your application depends on the program, entering class, and the rest of your profile. It does not guarantee admission or place you above every school’s median.
Is 655 a good GMAT score?
A 655 is at the 89.6% percentile in GMAC’s August 2026 table and links to 700–710 on the retired scale (GMAC August 2026 score concordance table). Whether it suits your application depends on the program, entering class, and the rest of your profile. It does not guarantee admission or place you above every school’s median.
Is 685 a good GMAT score?
A 685 is at the 95.1% percentile in GMAC’s August 2026 table and links to 730–740 on the retired scale (GMAC August 2026 score concordance table). Whether it suits your application depends on the program, entering class, and the rest of your profile. It does not guarantee admission or place you above every school’s median.
Is 705 a good GMAT score?
A 705 is at the 97.5% percentile in GMAC’s August 2026 table and links to 750 on the retired scale (GMAC August 2026 score concordance table). Whether it suits your application depends on the program, entering class, and the rest of your profile. It does not guarantee admission or place you above every school’s median.
What percentile is a 700 GMAT Focus score?
There is no current-format total of 700: current GMAT totals end in 5 (official GMAT scoring guidance). If you mean a retired-scale 700, the August 2026 concordance links it to 645–655 on the current scale, corresponding to 85.6%–89.6% (GMAC August 2026 score concordance table).
Is 700 a good GMAT score on the classic scale?
A retired-scale 700 links to current scores 645–655 in the GMAC August 2026 score concordance table. Check your target school’s class profile and which exam scale it reports; do not interpret this as a universal admissions cutoff.
What is the average GMAT score?
A mean score depends on the exam version, population, and reporting period. The percentile table used here does not provide a current mean, so we do not present an older mean as current. Compare school averages using the school’s latest class profile, and compare your relative test performance using the dated percentile table.
Frequently asked questions
What percentile is a 645 on the GMAT Focus Edition?
A 645 corresponds to 85.6% in the GMAC August 2026 score concordance table, with a retired-scale linked range of 690–700.
What percentile is a 685 on the GMAT Focus Edition?
A 685 corresponds to 95.1% in the GMAC August 2026 score concordance table, with a retired-scale linked range of 730–740.
What percentile is a 695 GMAT Focus score?
A 695 corresponds to 96.9% in the GMAC August 2026 score concordance table, with a retired-scale linked range of 740–750.
What is the highest possible GMAT score?
The current total-score maximum is 805; the retired scale ended at 800 (official GMAT scoring guidance). The August 2026 table puts 735 at 99.4%, not 100.0%; 775 through 805 display 100.0% after rounding (GMAC August 2026 score concordance table).
What are the total marks in the GMAT?
The current total runs from 205 to 805 in 10-point steps. Each section is scored from 60 to 90 and contributes equally to the total (official GMAT scoring guidance).
How is the GMAT Focus total score calculated from section scores?
GMAC determines the official total from exam performance across the three equally weighted sections (official GMAT scoring guidance). This page’s optional linear estimator is an illustration, not the official scoring algorithm; use your Official Score Report for the actual total.
How do I convert a GMAT Focus score to the old GMAT score?
Use the linked range in the GMAC August 2026 score concordance table, not a fixed arithmetic adjustment. For example, 685 links to 730–740; score-bin sizes mean some correspondences are ranges rather than one-to-one conversions.
Is the GMAT Focus Edition easier than the old GMAT?
A percentile comparison does not establish that either exam is easier. The formats and scales differ. Read the current-versus-retired exam comparison and prepare for the version you will take.
What is a good GMAT Focus score?
Use the latest class profile of your target program and the correct exam scale as context. A percentile is not an admission probability, and a high score does not guarantee admission or a scholarship.
How long are GMAT scores valid?
GMAT scores are valid for five years. Percentiles can change as GMAC updates its reference population, even when the scaled score stays the same (official GMAT scoring guidance).
Knowing your percentile is the easy part. Knowing whether to retake, which section to attack, and how to position a score that sits just under a school's median is where applications are won.
