GMAT to GRE Score Converter
The WitPrep GMAT ↔ GRE converter is a free instant lookup tool that maps any GMAT total (200–800) or GMAT Focus score (205–805) to the equivalent GRE combined score (260–340), and vice versa, using the official ETS concordance table. It also returns the percentile rank on each scale so MBA and graduate-school applicants can compare their score against any program's published median in seconds — no signup required.
Verdict at a Glance
Use this converter once you have a GRE or GMAT score in hand and need to know what it's worth on the other test for MBA admissions. The conversions are reliable for shortlisting MBA programs (within ±10 GMAT points) but the score you submit to a school must still be the official report from ETS or GMAC.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert my GRE score to GMAT?
Enter your GRE Verbal and Quantitative scores in the converter to get the equivalent GMAT score. For example, a combined GRE 325 (V160 + Q165) is approximately equivalent to a GMAT 720.
Should I take the GRE or GMAT for MBA admissions?
Most top MBA programs accept both equally. GRE is cheaper ($220 vs $275), shorter, and works for non-MBA grad programs too. GMAT signals business-school commitment and is preferred by some consulting recruiters. See our full GRE vs GMAT comparison.
What GRE score is equivalent to GMAT 700?
A GMAT score of 700 is approximately equivalent to a combined GRE score of 318–322, depending on Verbal–Quant split. This places you around the 88th–92nd percentile.
Is this converter based on the new GMAT Focus Edition?
Yes. GMAT Focus Edition (launched 2024) uses a 205–805 scale instead of the classic 200–800. The concordance maps both scales to GRE 260–340. All MBA programs now report GMAT Focus scores.
Do MBA programs prefer GMAT over GRE?
The bias has nearly disappeared. Over 90% of MBA programs worldwide accept GRE scores and most admissions committees evaluate them equally using the ETS concordance. Some consulting and private-equity recruiters still ask for GMAT during interviews.
How accurate is the WitPrep converter?
The conversions match the official ETS concordance table within ±10 GMAT points. They're accurate for shortlisting MBA programs and retake planning, but schools accept only official ETS or GMAC score reports — not converted estimates.
What's a competitive GRE / GMAT score for M7 MBA programs?
M7 median is GRE 325–330 combined (V162+ / Q165+) or GMAT Focus 720–740. Top-20 programs typically expect GRE 320+ or GMAT 700+.
Can I send a converted score to MBA programs?
No. Schools only accept official score reports sent directly by ETS or GMAC. Use the converter for planning and shortlisting, then submit the official report from the test you actually sat.
