How is the GMAT score calculated?

Your Quant, Verbal and Data Insights scores (each 60 to 90) are added up. This calculator converts that sum into a total using (Q + V + DI − 180) × 20/3 + 205, rounded to the nearest number ending in 5. Totals run from 205 to 805. Only GMAC's official score report is final.

What is a good GMAT score?

It depends on your target schools. A score of 705 or above is generally competitive for top-20 MBA programs such as Harvard, Stanford GSB and Wharton. Scores between 655 and 695 are typically strong for top-50 programs. Indian programs like ISB usually look for scores above 685.

How accurate is this GMAT score calculator?

It gives a close estimate using the score conversion built into this tool. Your official score is decided by GMAC on the day of your exam and may differ slightly. Use the result to set targets and see which section moves your total the most, not as a prediction.

What do the GMAT sectional score ranges mean?

Each section (Quant, Verbal, Data Insights) is scored from 60 to 90. A section score of 60 is the minimum and 90 is the maximum. Average section scores are roughly 78 in Quant, 79 in Verbal and 75 in Data Insights, so the same number means a different percentile in each section.

How can I improve my GMAT score?

Start with a diagnostic test to find your weakest section, then build concept clarity before adding timed practice with official materials. Review every mistake instead of just counting scores. Crackverbal offers free concept videos and one-on-one strategy sessions if you want structured guidance.
