GMAT Focus Score Checker

Check a GMAT Exam (Focus Edition) score against GMAC's published scales: a Total of 205–805 in 10-point steps (so every reported Total ends in 5) and three section scores of 60–90, weighted equally. It will also tell you when a number cannot be told apart from a score on the retired 200–800 scale. Free, no sign-up.

Section scores

Each section is reported from 60 to 90 and the three are weighted equally in the Total. That is the change most people miss from the old exam: Data Insights carries the same weight as Quantitative Reasoning.

This tool does not add your section scores into a Total, because GMAC does not publish the algorithm that would let anyone do it honestly. Your Total is the figure on your own score report. To prepare against the real format, see the Myndaq GMAT Focus course.

FAQs

What is the GMAT Focus Edition score range?

The Total Score runs from 205 to 805 in 10-point intervals, so every reported Total ends in 5: 205, 215, and so on up to 805. There is no Focus Total of 700. Each of the three sections — Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights — is reported from 60 to 90. A percentile ranking is reported alongside. The three sections are weighted equally in the Total, which is the change most people miss: Data Insights counts as much as Quant.

Is a GMAT Focus 700 the same as an old GMAT 700?

There is no Focus 700 to compare. The Focus Total is reported in 10-point steps from 205, so every reported Total ends in 5 and a 700 can only be a score on the retired 200–800 scale. The trap is the figures that DO exist on the Focus scale and still fall inside the retired range: 205 to 800 covers both, so a bare 645 or 705 does not tell you which exam it came from, and GMAC says the two scales are not directly comparable. Always check which exam a score or a school requirement refers to, rather than assuming.

Can I work out my Total from my three section scores?

Not reliably, and this tool will not pretend to. GMAC does not publish the algorithm that turns three 60–90 section scores into a 205–805 Total, so any calculator that claims to derive one is using a guess. Your Total is the number on your own score report.

How long is the GMAT and how is it structured?

Three 45-minute sections, 64 questions in total, in a sitting of 2 hours 15 minutes plus one optional 10-minute break. You may take the sections in any order, and within a section you may review and change up to three answers.

How many times can I take the GMAT, and how long do scores last?

Five attempts in any rolling 12-month period, counting test-centre and online sittings together, with at least 16 days between sittings, and no lifetime limit. Scores are valid for five years from the test date.
