GMAT Focus Score Calculator

­Hi Marcof11,

The previous version of the GMAT used multiple scales:

1. During the test, a continuous scale was used for the adaptive sections (Q and V).

2. Scores from this scale were then mapped onto a (discrete, not continuous) "internal" scale.

3. These Q & V scores were then added to get the total score (again, on the "internal" scale).

4. Finally, all three scores were then mapped onto the "external" scales that we see on the score report.

In other words, the total score was never calculated directly from the section scores that we see on the score report.

However, I don't know whether the new GMAT does this as well. Bookmarking this thread to see if your official score is the same as you remember.­

All of the below/above is correct for the classic test.

However, for GMAT focus the scale is linear and each additional sectional point adds something along 6.67 points to the overall score. Each section contributes points equally and in a completely linear fashion. I have benchmarked this calculator on numerous scores since November and this is the only person who scored did not match in a somewhat unusual outcome.

So far my money is on the calculator 😎😂

PS. I’m not saying it’s equally easier or hard to get points in a specific section but rather that once you have a sectional score point, it will linearly contribute to the overall score. It seems like the situation where you may have exactly the same score split you had in a classic test but a different overall score are gone

­Hi bb,

The calculator is slightly inaccurate by +-10 points. please remove the discrepancy. Thanks

­
Thank you very much. I appreciate the help with checking it!!!­

­ The GRE score calculator would be an excellent addition! I have a bunch of friends who are going to go for the GRE instead of the GMAT as they aren't sure between getting an MBA or an MSc. There must be more people like that in the world, and they would definitely benefit from it!

­Hey bb
I recently took GMAT FE and when I fed the individual scores here, the individual percentiles matched the official report but the overall percentile did not. 
The overall percentile was 89%, whereas, shown here is 85%. Do you have any idea why that can happen?

Thank you for this feedback. This is because the Table GMAC published is done in either non-friendly format or I don’t know how to read it I need to shift every single number by one up basically. It’s an easy fix and we can blame it on me but I blame it on the reability of the official GMAC table 😇

Thank you so much for the feedback and helping me get it to be more precise congrats on the score too!

PS. I’ll fix it in a couple hours when I get home

Hi bb
Thanks for this! Do you have an approximate number of how many points each correct answer gets you? 

Thanks! ­

­Hey! I have just started preparing for GMAT Focus and gave my first mock test to check where I stand. I got 465 (80Q/79V/60DI). So, I would love to know what to interpret from this and what my strategy should be going forward. Most importantly, what should be my target score if i want to give the exam in July or August?

Hey! wonderful tool, has worked most of the times until now, that I got an:
Q: 83
V: 83
DI: 79

And got a 645
