What’s a good GMAT score in 2026? Most advice avoids giving a clear answer. In this video, we don’t. Using the most recent GMAT Focus percentile data, we break down what GMAT scores actually mean—and how to interpret them for today’s admissions landscape.
In this video, Erika Tyler-John from Target Test Prep walks through what qualifies as a good GMAT score from three perspectives:
We also address whether chasing a 700+ GMAT score still makes sense in 2026—and why, for most applicants, it doesn’t.
Using updated percentile tables, we explain key GMAT Focus benchmarks, how schools report scores in class profiles, and how to correctly compare old GMAT scores to the new GMAT Focus scale. You’ll also learn how factors like test-optional policies, application strength, and study timelines affect what a “good” score really looks like.
What You’ll Learn:
If you’re unsure what score to aim for—or whether retaking the GMAT is worth it—this video will give you clarity and direction.
