Whether you are just beginning your MBA journey or fine-tuning your path to a 700+ score, GMAT Day is designed to give you a competitive edge.
Hypothetically, if one were to apply for their masters in a year or so, with the classic GMAT having been phased out by then, what would their 780 be interpreted as? Going by the percentile chart published by GMAC earlier this month, the score could be interpreted as anything between 755 and 785 - a 30 point range.
How will adcoms interpret the score ( and rank it among other scores, the vast majority of which will be FOCUS scores ) ?
Do we expect the score conversion table to change as more data on FOCUS results is collected ( as far as I can tell, what we have now is not much more than statistical voodoo by GMAC psychometricians ) ? I know that Marty from [REDACTED*] thinks that the GMAC overestimated the difficulty of the focus, as high-scoring people will do better on DI than they did on IR as it matters more now, skewing the percentiles down on the top end.
I ( selfishly ) hope people that took the test "early" don't get screwed by the transition to the FOCUS test...

*no offence to Marty or the company he works for, it's just that if I mention the org by name, gmatclub directly links to their website, and I don't feel like advertising a service I have never used.

AKKAMI-
Actually, I'm working independently now.
Regarding your question, schools will continue to see 780 on the classic GMAT basically as they do now, a 100th percentile score. After all, there's no reason for them to see it any differently since the score will continue to be a 100th percentile score and nobody is going to bother trying to come up with some way of adjusting that percentile no matter what happens with Focus Edition scores.
GMAT Focus Edition percentiles will become based on actual test-taker performance, and at that point, comparisons between Focus Edition scores and classic GMAT scores will be based on actual classic GMAT percentiles and actual Focus Edition percentiles.
