01 — How it’s calculated
How the GMAT total score works
Three section scores, equal weight, one total on a 205–805 scale.
- Each section
- 60–90
Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights are scored on the same 60–90 scale.
- Total score
- 205–805
Reported in 10-point steps, so every total ends in 5.
- Section weight
- Equal
One extra point in any section moves the total by about 6.67 points.
Total ≈ 205 + (Q + V + DI − 180) × 6.67, rounded to the nearest score ending in 5
Example: Quant 82 + Verbal 81 + Data Insights 79 = 242. Then 205 + (242 − 180) × 6.67 ≈ 618, which rounds to 615 — the 76th percentile.
GMAC does not publish its exact formula. This linear model reproduces the official scale from end to end (60/60/60 = 205, 90/90/90 = 805); your official total may differ by one 10-point step.
| Quant | Verbal | DI | Total | Percentile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 90 | 90 | 90 | 805 | 99th+ |
| 86 | 85 | 83 | 695 | 97th |
| 83 | 82 | 81 | 645 | 87th |
| 80 | 80 | 80 | 605 | 70th |
| 78 | 80 | 76 | 565 | 51st |
| 75 | 75 | 75 | 505 | 27th |
| 70 | 70 | 70 | 405 | 7th |
| 60 | 60 | 60 | 205 | below 1st |
02 — Percentiles
GMAT score percentiles
A percentile is the share of test-takers who scored below you. Sections are scaled differently: a Verbal 80 is the 56th percentile, a Data Insights 80 the 83rd.

How is the GMAT total score calculated?
Your Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights scores (each 60–90) are combined with equal weight into a total from 205 to 805, reported in 10-point steps. GMAC does not publish the exact algorithm, but a linear model — 205 + (sum of section scores − 180) × 6.67, rounded to the nearest score ending in 5 — reproduces the official scale from end to end.
How accurate is this GMAT score calculator?
It is an estimate. The total uses the linear model above, so your official score may differ by one 10-point step. Percentiles come straight from GMAC’s published tables for exams taken in 2020–2025. For your real section scores, take a full-length, timed mock exam.
Where do the percentiles come from?
From GMAC, the organisation that runs the GMAT. Percentiles show the share of test-takers who scored below you. GMAC updates them every year; this page uses the release based on exams taken from 2020 to 2025.
About GMAT scores
What is a good GMAT score?
It depends on your target programs. As a rule of thumb, 605 is better than about 70% of test-takers, 655 is around the 91st percentile and 705 is the 98th. Check the class profiles of the schools you are applying to for their median and range.
Why is the same section score a different percentile in each section?
Each section has its own distribution of results. A Verbal 80 is the 56th percentile, a Quant 80 the 64th and a Data Insights 80 the 83rd, because fewer test-takers reach high Data Insights scores.
Can I compare my score with an older GMAT score?
Not directly. The previous version of the GMAT used a 200–800 scale with different sections, so the same number means a different level. GMAC publishes official concordance tables that match old and current scores by percentile.
Do business schools see my section scores?
Yes. Schools receive your Quant, Verbal and Data Insights scores along with the total, so a balanced profile matters, not just the headline number.
