GMAT Score Estimator

Estimate your total GMAT score from quant and verbal section scores — a quick read on where you'd land.

Estimated total score

800

An approximation for target-setting — not the official score.

Approximate percentile~99th

The GMAT's official scoring algorithm is proprietary; this estimator uses a standard linear approximation of the Quant + Verbal → total mapping. Use it to set section targets, not to predict an exact result.

How the GMAT total is built

The total score (200–800) is derived from your Quant and Verbal scaled scores through a proprietary algorithm. This estimator uses a standard linear approximation so you can set realistic section targets.

What score to aim for

Top MBA programs often see median scores around 720–730, but the range is wide and the GMAT is only one factor. Use the estimate to back into the Quant and Verbal scores your goal requires.

It's a guide, not a prediction

Treat the number as directional. The official scoring is more nuanced, but the approximation is plenty accurate for planning your prep.
