The converter uses the ETS comparison formula for the classic GMAT scale (200–800). Schools that report GMAT Focus scores (205–805) use a different scale; compare percentiles rather than converting Focus totals here.
Why conversions are estimates
The two tests measure similar skills in different ways, and their test-taker pools differ. The formula is a published comparison, not an official conversion. Schools read your actual score and percentile on the test you took.
Which test should I take?
If all your target schools accept both, take a free diagnostic of each and choose the one you score higher on in percentile terms. The GRE suits strong verbal candidates; GMAT Focus suits those comfortable with data analysis.
FAQs
Do business schools prefer the GMAT?
Most state that they treat both equally. A few programmes and some employers still ask for GMAT scores.
Does the GRE Analytical Writing score count in the conversion?
No. Conversions use Verbal and Quant only.
Can I compare with GMAT Focus scores out of 805?
Not with this converter. Compare percentiles instead, or use the score the school actually reports.
