FAQs
GMAT Focus coaching questions, answered.
What GMAT score do I need for top MBA programmes?
M7 and top European programmes typically admit around 655-705+ on the Focus Edition (equivalent to 700+ classically). Strong Indian applicants usually target 675+.
GMAT or GRE for MBA?
Both are accepted almost everywhere now. GMAT suits data-comfortable test-takers; GRE suits stronger vocabulary. Business schools view them equally - choose by diagnostic score.
How is the GMAT Focus total scored?
Each section scores 60-90 and combines to a 205-805 total via a proprietary conversion. Our calculator gives an approximation; official mocks give the accurate projection.
Can I choose the section order in GMAT Focus?
Yes - you select your section order before the exam starts, and there is one optional 10-minute break. We help you pick the order that fits your strengths.
