Total Score percentile 47%

How the percentile is found

  1. The GMAT has three sections: Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning and Data Insights. Each is scored from 60 to 90 and counts equally towards the Total Score.

  2. The Total Score runs from 205 to 805 and always ends in 5.

  3. Each score is looked up in GMAC's percentile table: the percentage of test takers you performed better than. The table covers everyone who tested in 2021–2026.

  4. The page starts at the means of the same data: Quantitative 77.92, Verbal 79.43, Data Insights 75.14 and Total 554.94, each rounded to the scale's own step.

What this cannot tell you

  • GMAC does not publish how the three section scores make up the Total Score, only that they weigh equally. So this page never works out a Total from your section scores; enter your Total on its own.

  • GMAC says a section score depends on how many questions you answered, whether you got them right and how difficult they were. This page does not predict a score from correct answers.

  • GMAC may update its percentiles every year in the third quarter, so the percentile for the same score can move over time.

  • Scores from the 10th edition (200–800) cannot be compared directly with this scale; GMAC points to percentiles for that comparison.

Frequently asked questions

What does the percentile mean?▾

In GMAC's words, the percentage of test takers you performed better than with that score. A Total Score of 615, for example, sits at 75.

Can I work out my Total Score from my section scores?▾

Not here. GMAC says the sections count equally towards the Total but does not publish the formula, so rather than guess we ask you for the Total on your score report.

Why do Total Scores end in 5?▾

GMAC made every current Total Score end in 5 so it cannot be mistaken for a score on the old 200–800 scale. The scale runs from 205 to 805 in steps of 10.

Can I compare an old GMAT score with this table?▾

Not directly. GMAC says the two editions differ in both scale and score distribution, so the only fair comparison runs through percentiles.

Is anything I enter sent anywhere?▾

No. The sums run in your browser; nothing you enter is sent or stored, and you do not need an account.
