Advantage Testing GMAT Q&A

A 605 may be a good GMAT score for some business school applicants, being around the 70th percentile. A 605 is below the average score for many leading business schools (e.g., successful applicants to MIT Sloan typically have a score around 685).

Keep in mind that GMAT scores should not be considered “good” or “bad” in themselves, but only relative to your goals. When setting goals, you should take into account the mean and 75th percentile scores at the schools to which you hope to apply, your practice test scores, and the other strengths of your business school application. For example, if your score is above the 75th percentile of students admitted to your top-choice business school, you can feel confident that you have a “good” score.
