GMAT Focus Score Converter
The new GMAT Focus Edition uses a scale of 205-805. Use this tool to see how your score compares to the old 200-800 scale and what percentile you've achieved for 2026 admissions.
Direct Answer / Quick Summary
What is 705 GMAT Focus in the old scale?
A score of 705 on the GMAT Focus Edition is equivalent to a 760 on the Classic GMAT. This places you in the 99th percentile of all test-takers. The GMAT Focus scale (205-805) is designed to provide finer granularity at the top end, which is why a 705 is technically 'stronger' than a 750 classic. For Top 10 MBA programs (M7), a Focus score above 655 (710 classic equivalent) is generally considered highly competitive.
Valid scores end in 5 (e.g., 645, 655).
You scored higher than 97% of all test-takers globally in the last 3 years.
MBA Admission Tip
Business schools now accept both scores. However, because the Focus Edition is tougher, a 645 (Focus) is often viewed as equal to a 700 (Classic). Don't let the lower raw number discourage you!
