Candidates can now register for the latest version of the GMAT: The GMAT™ Focus Edition. This unique admissions exam is tailored for graduate business programs and MBA programs actively seeking a globally diverse candidate pool exclusively dedicated to pursuing a business degree. GMAT™ Focus Edition testing will start on November 7, 2023. The exam can be taken at both test centres and online.
In the revised GMAT™ focused edition, the long-standing benchmark of achieving a score of 700 has transitioned to a new standard of 645. Notably, a score of 645 in this updated format is equivalently significant to what a 700 signified in the previous GMAT version, signifying a placement in the 87th percentile. This insightful recalibration has been thoughtfully presented by GMAT through their latest concordance table.
Unofficial Scores: After the exam, your unofficial scores for Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, Data Insights, and Total Score will be shown on-screen. The test-taker can’t save, screenshot, or print these scores. The Official Score Report will be available in their mba.com account, and they’ll receive an email notification when it’s ready.
About GMAT™ Focus Edition Scores: The GMAT™ Focus Edition’s Total Score ranges from 205 to 805, with all scores ending in 5. This change helps distinguish it from the GMAT™ Exam, which has a score range of 200 to 800.
Comparing GMAT scores and GMAT™ Focus Edition Scores: Due to alterations in both the score scales and their distribution, attempting a direct comparison of total scores or section scores between the GMAT™ Focus Edition and a previous exam version would not yield a meaningful assessment of performance. Nonetheless, exam scores can be correlated and evaluated through the use of percentile data.
To understand a candidate’s relative competitiveness, one can use the concordance tables below to show score distributions between the two versions of the exam.
