The GMAT and GRE are standardized tests designed to evaluate a student's aptitude for graduate-level studies. The GMAT was primarily used by business schools, whereas the GRE was accepted by a wider range of programs in areas such as engineering and social sciences. However, many business schools also consider GRE scores for admission into their graduate management programs now. Since the two tests have different scoring systems, students who have taken the GRE can benefit from a GRE to GMAT calculator to compare their scores with the GMAT.
It is important to understand that one cannot directly convert their GRE score to a GMAT score or vice versa because the tests measure different content. Nonetheless, one can gauge how their GRE score compares to their GMAT score by examining the average scores for each test.
The GRE scores are converted using the conversion tool. It is an easy-to-use tool that has been specifically designed to transpose the GRE scores into GMAT scores. This tool utilizes the predicted value of GMAT scores based on the candidate's overall GRE scores.
GMAT Total score = -2080.75 + 6.38*GRE Verbal Reasoning score + 10.62*GRE Quantitative Reasoning score
GMAT Verbal score = -109.49 + 0.912*GRE Verbal Reasoning score
GMAT Quantitative score = -158.42 + 1.243*GRE Quantitative Reasoning score
This tool also uses regression equations to predict GMAT Verbal and Quantitative scores from the GRE Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning scores. The formulas are as follows:
The GRE is scored on a 130-170 scale, and the GMAT is scored on a 200-800 scale
