About the GMAT Focus Score Calculator
This GMAT Focus score calculator estimates your total score from your three section scores. Enter your Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights scores (each 60–90) and it estimates the 205–805 total, then looks up the official GMAC percentile ranking and the GMAT (10th Edition) scores that GMAC links to the same percentile.
It is for MBA and business master’s applicants reading practice-exam results, comparing their score with a program’s published class profile, or translating an old-format 200–800 target into the Focus scale. GMAC advises comparing the two editions by percentile rather than by raw score, which is exactly what the concordance column does.
GMAC weights the three sections equally but does not publish the exact formula for the total. The calculator spreads the 180–270 section sum evenly across the 205–805 range and rounds to a score ending in 5, so treat the total as an estimate that can differ from your official score. Percentiles and the old-scale equivalents come from GMAC’s concordance table published in August 2026.
With the default inputs, the estimated gmat focus total is 635. Change any value above to recalculate instantly.

Formula and method
The GMAT Focus Edition reports Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights on a 60–90 scale, and a total from 205 to 805 in steps of 10. GMAC states that the three sections contribute equally to the total but does not publish the scoring formula, so the calculator maps the section sum (180–270) linearly onto the total scale — 90 section points spread over 600 total points — and rounds to the nearest valid score.
The percentile and the 10th Edition equivalent come from GMAC’s concordance table: the percentile is the share of test takers you outperformed, and the equivalent shows the old 200–800 totals that sit at the same percentile. Where several old scores share a percentile, the range is shown.

Worked examples
Balanced profile (Q82, V83, DI80)
The section sum is 245, so the estimate is 205 + 65 × 600 ÷ 90 = 638.3, which rounds to 635. GMAC puts 635 at the 80.9th percentile, the same percentile as a 680–690 on the 10th Edition.
80 in every section
A section sum of 240 gives exactly 205 + 60 × 600 ÷ 90 = 605. That is the 69.4th percentile, equivalent to a 650 on the old 200–800 scale.
Elite score (Q88, V86, DI85)
A sum of 259 gives 205 + 79 × 600 ÷ 90 = 731.7, which rounds to 735 — the 99.4th percentile, comparable to a 760–770 on the 10th Edition.
Frequently asked questions
How is the GMAT Focus total score calculated?+
GMAC combines the Quant, Verbal and Data Insights scores with equal weight into a total from 205 to 805. The exact formula is not published, so this calculator spreads the 180–270 section sum evenly across the total scale as an estimate; your official total can differ.
What is a good GMAT Focus score?+
In GMAC’s current table a 605 is about the 69th percentile, 655 the 90th and 705 the 97.5th. Compare your percentile with the class profiles of the programs on your list.
How do I convert a GMAT Focus score to the old GMAT?+
Use GMAC’s concordance table, which matches the two editions by percentile. For example a Focus 645 sits at the same percentile as a 690–700 on the 10th Edition, and a 605 matches a 650.
Why do all GMAT Focus scores end in 5?+
GMAC deliberately set the Focus total scale to 205–805 so that new scores could never be confused with scores from the 200–800 10th Edition. Every Focus total ends in 5.
Are GMAT Focus percentiles updated?+
Yes. GMAC updates percentile values annually in the third quarter. The figures used here come from the concordance table published in August 2026, based on test takers from July 2021 to June 2026.
