Have a score on one graduate admissions test and want to know what it’s worth on the others? Enter it below to see the percentile-equivalent GRE, GMAT Focus, and LSAT scores — handy now that so many programs accept more than one exam.
Not sure which exam plays to your strengths?
Take a full-length GRE, GMAT, or LSAT practice test and get a personalized breakdown of exactly where you're losing points — and which exam gives you the best shot at your target schools.
The walls between these exams are coming down. Most MBA programs now accept the GRE or the GMAT, and a large, growing share of law schools accept the GRE in place of the LSAT. If you’ve already taken one test — or are deciding which to take — knowing the rough equivalent on the others helps you judge whether an existing score is good enough, or which exam plays to your strengths.
ETS once ran an official GRE-to-GMAT predictor for business schools, but it has been retired, leaving applicants without a maintained tool. This converter is built to fill that gap.
Every result here is a percentile crosswalk. Your score is located on its own exam’s percentile table, and we return the score at that same percentile on each other exam. A 90th-percentile score becomes the 90th-percentile score everywhere — because percentile, not the raw number, is the only fair way to compare exams with completely different scales.
The percentile tables are calibrated to the figures Test Ninjas publishes across the site — the same LSAT percentiles behind our LSAT score calculator, the GMAT Focus distribution from our GMAT calculator, and the combined-score estimates behind our GRE percentile calculator.
Approximate score equivalents at each percentile, the way this tool computes them:
| Percentile | GRE (total) | GMAT Focus | LSAT |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50th | 310 | 565 | 151 |
| 60th | 314 | 595 | 154 |
| 70th | 317 | 615 | 157 |
| 75th | 319 | 625 | 158 |
| 80th | 321 | 635 | 160 |
| 85th | 324 | 645 | 162 |
| 90th | 326 | 655 | 164 |
| 95th | 330 | 675 | 168 |
| 98th | 334 | 705 | 171 |
| 99th | 337 | 735 | 174 |
Percentile matching is a solid starting point, but it isn’t a promise. Each exam draws a different, self-selected pool of test-takers, so the same percentile doesn’t describe an identical applicant — the retired ETS regression, for instance, generally predicted a slightly lower GMAT than a straight percentile match would. And because no official LSAT-to-GRE/GMAT concordance has ever existed, treat any conversion involving the LSAT as the roughest of the three. Set your target from these numbers, then verify the real requirement with each program’s published medians.
Is there an official GRE to GMAT conversion?
There used to be. ETS ran a "GRE Comparison Tool for Business Schools" that predicted a GMAT score from your GRE Verbal and Quant scores using a regression formula, but ETS retired it. Since most MBA programs now accept either exam and evaluate the actual score you submit, no maintained official converter exists. This tool fills that gap with a percentile-based estimate — useful for target-setting, not for what a school will officially see.
How does this converter actually work?
It matches scores by percentile. Your input score is looked up on its own exam's percentile table, and we then find the score that sits at the same percentile on each other exam. So a score at the 90th percentile on one test converts to the 90th-percentile score on the others. We display the percentile for every result so you can see the basis.
How accurate is a GRE / GMAT / LSAT conversion?
Treat it as a ballpark. Percentile matching is the standard method, but each exam has a different test-taker pool, so equal percentiles do not mean identical applicants — the retired ETS GRE-to-GMAT regression, for example, tends to predict a slightly lower GMAT than a pure percentile match. There has never been any official concordance between the LSAT and the GRE or GMAT, so those crosswalks are the roughest. Use the number to set a target, then confirm with each program what it actually requires.
Can I use a GRE score to apply to law school?
Increasingly, yes. A large and growing number of ABA-approved law schools accept the GRE in place of the LSAT. If you already have a strong GRE score, this converter shows the rough LSAT-equivalent so you can judge whether it clears a school's typical LSAT median — but always check each school's stated policy and score expectations.
Why does the same percentile give a "better-looking" score on one test?
Because the scales and populations differ. A 90th-percentile GMAT Focus score is about 655 on a 205–805 scale; a 90th-percentile LSAT is about 164 on a 120–180 scale. The numbers look nothing alike, but they represent the same relative standing. That is exactly why percentile — not the raw number — is the right currency for comparing across exams.
