The GMAT Focus Edition score ranges from 205 to 805 in 10-point increments. Each section—Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, and Data Insights—is scored individually and then combined to generate the total score. There is no negative marking; however, unanswered questions lower the score significantly. Percentile rankings indicate how a candidate performed compared to other test-takers.
