GMAT Score percentiles
GMAT Focus Score Percentiles Calculator
Type your GMAT Focus total, and your Quant or Verbal score if you have them, to see where you rank, how business schools tend to read it and what to work on next. It runs in your browser and saves nothing.
Reading a Focus score
The Focus total runs from 205 to 805 and always ends in 5, so it can’t be mixed up with the older 200–800 GMAT. Quant, Verbal and Data Insights each score 60 to 90 and count equally toward the total.
Percentiles move fast near the top. A 605 beats about 69% of test takers, a 655 about 90% and a 705 about 98%. So 50 points in the middle of the scale shift your rank a lot more than 50 points near the top.
If you’re comparing an old score: a Focus score is not “the same number minus a bit”. GMAC publishes a separate table that lines up old and new scores by percentile. Check it rather than guessing.

Questions
What is a good GMAT Focus score?
It depends on the programs you want. A 655 beats about 90% of test takers and is strong almost anywhere; many solid programs report medians lower than that. Compare with each school's class profile.
Is a 605 a good GMAT score?
A 605 beats about 69% of test takers. That is above the middle and fits many part-time, online and regional programs. For highly ranked full-time MBAs, check whether their medians are higher.
Why is there no Data Insights percentile here?
GMAC lists Data Insights percentiles on your official score report, but they are not in the published percentile tables this tool uses, so we leave them out rather than guess.
How long is a GMAT score valid?
Five years, according to GMAC.
