Hi

I have a question relating to the GRE and the GMAT. What does a score of 650 on the GRE equate to in terms of the GMAT?

Hi,

The GRE and GMAT scores don't cross calculate. Meaning you can't use a GRE score in place of a GMAT and vice versa. It's also difficult to assess how you might score on the GMAT based on a GRE score. Very few bschools will accept a GRE in lieu of a GMAT score. Be sure to check the requirements at each school before you start your applications.

Best,

Stacey

Hi Stacy

I understand that my question was very open-ended. I have written the GMAT, however I have seen that the school I wish to apply to indicates that its mininum GRE is 650. I wanted to get a broad idea what this score could equate to in terms of the GMAT (bearing in mind that these are different tests etc). Would that roughly translate to a 550, 650 or 750 on the GMAT? Really just looking to gauge whether we on average look at increasing or reducing the score by for example a 100 or 200 points.

Thank you for you reply though.

Hi,

Thanks for the clarification. ETS offers a GRE/GMAT comparison tool https://www.ets.org/gre/2008/9934/tool.html that you can use to convert your score. I hope this helps.

Best,

Stacey

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
