Before February 2024, GMAT scores were calculated on a scaled score range of 200-800. The total GMAT score is determined by combining the candidate's subscores from the Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning sections. Both these sections are graded on a scale of 6-51 with an increment of 1 point. The Integrated Reasoning section is scored between 1 and 8 with a 1-point increment, while the AWA section is scored between 0 and 6 with a 0.5-point increment.
