Enter your Quant, Verbal and Data Insights scores (60–90 each) to see your estimated GMAT Focus total (205–805), its official percentile and the old-GMAT equivalent. Pick a target to see how many section points you still need. Below that, you can estimate your GMAT Superscore from several attempts, convert an old 200–800 score, and compare your total with top MBA programs.
Your estimate: 615 (75th percentile).

A 655 needs your three section scores to add up to about 247. You’re at 242, so you need about 5 more section points in total, from any mix of Quant, Verbal and Data Insights.
Each section scores 60–90. The total is our estimate (GMAC doesn’t publish the conversion); percentiles and the old-GMAT equivalent come from GMAC’s August 2026 concordance tables (July 2021 – June 2026). Data Insights percentiles aren’t in those tables.
The GMAT Focus Edition has three 45-minute sections: Quantitative Reasoning (21 questions), Verbal Reasoning (23) and Data Insights (20). Each is scored from 60 to 90. The three section scores are weighted equally and combine into a total from 205 to 805. Every total ends in 5, so the scale moves in steps of 10. For the section-by-section breakdown, see GMAT score range and scale.
Each section is computer-adaptive: question difficulty adjusts as you go, and your section score reflects both how many questions you answer correctly and how hard they were. That’s why no calculator can turn a count of correct answers into an official score. How GMAT adaptive testing works covers the details.
GMAC publishes the endpoints of the scale but not the conversion in between. The calculator maps your section-score sum in a straight line from 180 (60/60/60 = 205) to 270 (90/90/90 = 805), then rounds to the nearest official step:
Estimated total ≈ (Q + V + DI − 180) × 20 ⁄ 3 + 205, rounded to a total ending in 5
Each section point is therefore worth about 6.7 total points before rounding. Your official total can land a step or two away from the estimate. The percentiles and old-GMAT equivalents, by contrast, are GMAC’s own published values. How the GMAT scoring algorithm works explains more.
Worked example
Section scores: Quant 82, Verbal 81, Data Insights 79.
GMAC’s table puts a 615 at the 75.4th percentile. That lines up with 650–680 on the old GMAT. Quant 82 is the 75.3rd percentile and Verbal 81 is the 64.3rd.
GMAC updates GMAT percentiles every year in the third quarter. The current tables cover test takers from July 2021 – June 2026. In them, the median total is about 565 (50.4th percentile), 645 is the 85.6th, 655 is the 89.6th and 705 is the 97.5th. For what these numbers mean when you apply, see what is a good GMAT score and GMAT score percentiles explained.
| Focus total | Percentile | Old GMAT equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| 805 | 100.0% | 790–800 |
| 755 | 99.8% | 770–780 |
| 735 | 99.4% | 760–770 |
| 715 | 98.6% | 750–760 |
| 705 | 97.5% | 750 |
| 695 | 96.9% | 740–750 |
| 685 | 95.1% | 730–740 |
| 675 | 94.0% | 720–730 |
| 665 | 91.2% | 710–720 |
| 655 | 89.6% | 700–710 |
| 645 | 85.6% | 690–700 |
| 635 | 80.9% | 680–690 |
| 625 | 78.2% | 680 |

| 605 | 69.4% | 650 |
| 595 | 66.3% | 640–650 |
| 585 | 59.9% | 620–640 |
| 575 | 56.7% | 610–620 |
| 565 | 50.4% | 600–610 |
| 555 | 47.4% | 580–600 |
| 545 | 41.7% | 570–580 |
| 525 | 34.0% | 550–560 |
| 505 | 27.3% | 530 |
| 485 | 21.7% | 490–500 |
| 455 | 15.7% | 450–460 |
| 405 | 7.7% | 370–380 |
GMAC’s section tables list the Quant scores from 62 to 90 and the Verbal scores from 69 to 90, the scores that line up with old-GMAT section scores. A Quant 80 is the 63.9th percentile and a Quant 85 is the 87.8th. A Verbal 80 is the 54.4th and a Verbal 85 is the 92.6th. The same section score can rank quite differently in Quant and Verbal, which is one reason two people with the same total can have very different section profiles.
Since August 12, 2026, GMAC builds a GMAT Superscore from your highest Quant, Verbal and Data Insights scores across valid GMAT Focus Edition attempts. When you send a score report, GMAC automatically includes your Superscore, along with the exam date and delivery method of each section score used. You can’t opt out of it. You still decide which programs receive a report (GMAC: Sending and Reporting GMAT Superscores).
Enter each attempt’s section scores, oldest first, to see your estimated Superscore and how much it adds over your best single sitting. The gain is largest when your best sections came on different days. If two attempts tie on a section, GMAC uses the more recent one. Schools see an updated Superscore only when you send them a new report.
| Quant | Verbal | Data Insights | Estimated total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attempt 1 | 595 | |||
| Attempt 2 | 615 |
Uses Quant 83 (Attempt 2), Verbal 81 (Attempt 1) and Data Insights 80 (Attempt 2).
Only valid GMAT Focus Edition attempts count; 10th Edition scores don’t. GMAC calculates your official Superscore, and this tool estimates it from your section scores.
Because a retake can only raise or hold a Superscore, it changes the retake math. Before booking, check the 16-day gap and the five-attempts-per-year limit in GMAT retake policy. GMAT score reports explained covers what schools see.

Some MBA class profiles and older articles still quote 10th Edition (200–800) scores. GMAC’s concordance links each old total to one or more Focus totals with the same standing. It gives a range for many scores because the two scales use different step sizes. The most quoted pair: an old 700 lines up with 645–655 on the Focus Edition.
| Old GMAT (200–800) | Focus Edition (205–805) | Focus percentile |
|---|---|---|
| 800 | 805 | 100.0% |
| 760 | 715–735 | 98.6% – 98.9% – 99.4% |
| 750 | 695–715 | 96.9% – 97.5% – 98.6% |
| 740 | 685–695 | 95.1% – 96.9% |

The table compares your current estimate (615) with the GMAT Focus Edition median or average each program reported for its most recent class. A median is a midpoint, not a cutoff, and every class admits people below it. For more schools and context, see average GMAT scores at top MBA programs and GMAT score requirements at M7 schools.

All three sections count equally toward the total, so a point in Data Insights is worth exactly as much as a point in Quant or Verbal. In practice, put your study time where points come cheapest. That’s usually your lowest section, or the question type you miss most often in your error log.
Percentiles are packed together in the middle of the scale. Going from 605 to 645 moves you from the 69.4th to the 85.6th percentile, while going from 705 to 745 moves you from the 97.5th to the 99.6th. That same 40 points means far more to an admissions committee in the middle of the range than at the top.

Current: 82 / 81 / 79 (estimated 615). Target: 655.

Two parts of this page are exact: the percentiles and the old-to-new conversions, which reproduce GMAC’s August 2026 tables. The estimated total is an approximation. GMAC hasn’t published how section scores convert to the total, so any calculator, including this one, has to assume a conversion. Expect your official total to be at or near the estimate, sometimes a step or two away.
Your inputs matter more than the formula. Section scores from full-length, adaptive GMAT practice tests taken under timed conditions, especially GMAC’s Official Practice Exams, give a far better estimate than scores from untimed or non-adaptive question sets. Only your official score report is authoritative.
Your total (205–805) comes from three equally weighted section scores: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights, each 60–90. GMAC does not publish the exact conversion. This calculator maps the sum of your section scores in a straight line between the published endpoints (60/60/60 = 205 and 90/90/90 = 805) and rounds to the official grid, where every total ends in 5, so treat the total as an estimate. The percentiles it shows are GMAC's official values.
In GMAC's August 2026 tables, a 645 is the 85.6th percentile and a 655 is the 89.6th. The median sits at 565 (50.4th percentile), and a 705 is the 97.5th. Percentiles are based on test takers from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2026 and are updated every year in the third quarter.
Close. GMAC's concordance links a 700 on the 10th Edition (200–800) GMAT to 645–655 on the Focus Edition. GMAC lists a range because the two scales use different score steps, so a single old score can line up with more than one Focus total.
Since August 12, 2026, GMAC combines your highest Quant, Verbal and Data Insights scores across valid GMAT Focus Edition attempts into a Superscore. When you send a score report, the Superscore is included automatically, along with the exam date and delivery method of each section used. You can't opt out. You still choose which programs receive your report.
In GMAC's August 2026 percentile table, 565 is the 50.4th percentile, so the median Focus Edition total is about 565. A 545 is the 41.7th percentile.
The percentiles and the old-to-new conversions come straight from GMAC's published tables. The total is an estimate, because GMAC doesn't publish how section scores convert to the total. Your official total can differ from the estimate by a step or two. Section scores from GMAC's Official Practice Exams give the most realistic inputs.
GMAC's published concordance tables cover the total, Quant and Verbal. Data Insights has no 10th Edition equivalent, and we couldn't find an official DI percentile table to cite, so we don't show one. Your official score report includes your DI percentile.
