GMAT Score Calculator
Enter your raw scores to estimate your GMAT scaled score (205–805, Focus Edition). Note: This is a simplified estimation. Check GMAC for official results.
How to Use the GMAT Score Calculator
Our GMAT Score Calculator helps you estimate your GMAT score based on the number of correct answers in each section. Simply enter your raw scores for Quantitative, Verbal, and Integrated Reasoning sections, and the calculator will provide an estimated scaled score for each section along with your total GMAT score.
Understanding GMAT Scoring
The GMAT Focus Edition (introduced in late 2023) uses a scoring scale of 205-805 for the total score, with section scores as follows:
- Quantitative Reasoning: Scored on a scale of 60-90
- Verbal Reasoning: Scored on a scale of 60-90
- Data Insights: Scored on a scale of 60-90 (replaces Integrated Reasoning in Focus Edition)
Note: Our calculator uses the traditional scoring method for estimation purposes. For the most accurate score calculation, refer to official GMAC resources.
GMAT Score Percentiles
GMAT scores are accompanied by percentile rankings that indicate what percentage of test-takers scored lower than you. Here are some common score percentiles:
- 805: 99%
- 735: 96%
- 695: 89%
- 655: 77%

What is a Good GMAT Score?
A "good" GMAT score depends on your target business schools. Generally:
- 700+ (88th percentile and above): Competitive for top 10 programs
- 650-700 (77th-88th percentile): Competitive for top 25-50 programs
- 600-650 (58th-77th percentile): Competitive for many good business schools
- Below 600: May limit options for competitive programs
GMAT Score Calculator Formula
The GMAT scoring algorithm is complex and proprietary to GMAC. Our calculator uses the following estimation formulas:
- Quantitative Scaled Score = (Raw Score / 21) × 30 + 60
- Verbal Scaled Score = (Raw Score / 23) × 30 + 60
- Integrated Reasoning Score = (Raw Score / 12) × 8 + 1
- Total Score = (Quant Scaled + Verbal Scaled) × 4 + IR Score
Note: This is an approximation. The actual GMAT scoring algorithm is more complex and adaptive.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this GMAT score calculator?
This calculator provides a reasonable estimate of your GMAT score based on historical data and known scoring patterns. However, the actual GMAT uses a computer-adaptive testing algorithm that adjusts question difficulty based on your performance, so your actual score may vary.
What's the difference between GMAT and GMAT Focus Edition scoring?
The traditional GMAT had a total score range of 200-800 with separate Analytical Writing and Integrated Reasoning scores. The GMAT Focus Edition (introduced in late 2023) has a total score range of 205-805 and combines the Integrated Reasoning and Data Sufficiency questions into a new Data Insights section.
How many questions are on the GMAT?
The GMAT Focus Edition consists of 64 questions total: 21 Quantitative, 23 Verbal, and 20 Data Insights questions. The test takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes to complete.
How is the GMAT scored?
The GMAT uses a computer-adaptive algorithm that adjusts question difficulty based on your performance. Your final score is based on the number of questions you answer correctly, the difficulty of those questions, and the number of questions answered.
Can I use this calculator for the GMAT Focus Edition?
This calculator provides an estimate for both the traditional GMAT and the Focus Edition. For the Focus Edition, the Data Insights section replaces the Integrated Reasoning section, but the scoring methodology is similar for estimation purposes.
