About the Score Scale
If you're familiar with the previous edition of the GMAT, you'll notice the Total Score scale is different. This change has been made to ensure you and schools can easily distinguish between a GMAT Exam - Focus Edition and previous GMAT Exam score.
| Exam | Total Score Range |
|---|---|
| GMAT Exam - Focus Edition | 205-805 |
| Previous edition of the GMAT Exam | 200-800 |

- The Total Score now comprises all 3 section scores (as mentioned above)
- The content areas and test constructs have been refined to narrow scope to focus on data literacy, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills
- The scoring algorithm has been updated
- The new Question Review & Edit feature will have implications for testing behavior
