A tool that estimates equivalent performance levels between the Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) and the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). These resources typically utilize statistical analyses of test-taker data to generate a corresponding GMAT score based on a provided GRE score, or vice versa. For instance, entering a GRE Quantitative Reasoning score of 160 and a Verbal Reasoning score of 155 might yield an estimated GMAT score of 680.
These conversion estimations serve as a valuable aid for prospective business school applicants who have taken either the GRE or GMAT but are unsure of how their performance translates to the other standardized test. The use of these estimations can assist in determining which test score to submit to a particular program, or to inform the decision of whether retaking either exam is necessary to improve application competitiveness. Historically, the necessity for these arose with the increasing acceptance of the GRE by business schools, previously a domain primarily associated with the GMAT.
