What is a Good GMAT Score?

When considering your GMAT score goal, it’s always a good idea to look at the mean or average GMAT score of admitted applicants to the MBA programs you’re considering applying to. This will give you a good baseline.

The quantitative and verbal sections of the GMAT are each scored from 0 to 60, with the mean score for Quantitative at 39 and the mean score for Verbal at 27. The score business schools and MBA programs pay the most attention to is the combined 200 – 800 score scale, where the mean score is 552.

When To Take The GMAT Exam?

Because MBA and other business programs have a wide range of application deadlines, you’ll want to research your programs of interest ahead of time and ensure that your GMAT score can be reported in time for your earliest deadline. Your GMAT score is good for five years.

Keep in mind that many MBA programs accept applications in rounds that can end as early as September for Round 1 at highly competitive programs and can go as late as the following April or May for Round 3 or even Round 4.

You’ll want to devote 1 – 3 months to studying for the GMAT. GMAT test takers who score in the 90th percentile or higher typically study more than 120 hours for the exam.
