As GmatKnightTutor indicated, there is a full concordance on MBA.com at [url]https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-focus-edition/scores/understanding-your-score#:~:text=Your%20GMAT™%20Focus%20Edition,range%20from%20205%20to%20805.[/url]

What's posted above matches the GMAT website.

I think an easy way to think about it is that for the scores that matter to most people (the 650 to 750 range on the "classic" GMAT), the GMAT Focus is about 50 points lower. The gap is a little more narrow near the top (especially above 750 on the classic GMAT), but it's a good heuristic.

The other thing of note is that on the GMAT Focus you have a little more differentiation of test takers near the top. So on the classic GMAT you might have a bunch of people all at 750, but on the GMAT Focus those people may have different scores: 695, 705, or 715. The above chart doesn't show that because it's condensed down so as to not have a million rows, but the chart on mba.com demonstrates this.

This is not correct. 695 in focus is 98% percentile equivalent of 750 in classic as mentioned on the gmat website. Pls elaborate how you have created this

Thank you for the comment. I see the issue. This data came from GMAC. However, there are ranges for each of the scores. E.g. 695 is between 96.8% and 98% It is mapping it to both 740 and 750. I have gone ahead and updated all of the tables and introduced the concept of the Minimum or Lowest GMAT Focus Score needed to hit a particular GMAT Classic score, however, depending on the percentile

Source is right here for the overall score: https://blog.gmat.com/hubfs/gmat-score- ... anking.pdf

P.S. I see GMAC has replaced their previous tables of mapping scores with this latest table on their pages. Not sure why they complicated things but this is an interesting move.

This table has been updated to reflect the way that GMAC posts percentiles on the score reports.
E.g. 655 is reported to be 93rd percentile (it seems a matter of how they interpret it or perhaps it is a bug) but either way, I am matching the score report version. Note that it is 1 step off this version https://blog.gmat.com/hubfs/gmat-score- ... anking.pdf where it says that 655 is 89.6 percentile.

Hi. Where did you see that? Did you get a score report in the Real GMAT Focus? (those have been a bit interesting how they calculate percentiles... I had to change my table)

I have several versions of the GMAC's tables and none of them clock 645 as 710

Here is one:

Hi bb!

My official score was 645(\(89^{th}\) percentile) and if we consider just the 645 score then it is equivalent to 690/700 but if we consider the \(89^{th}\) percentile then my score is around 700/710.
I am not sure which comparison is the correct one.
