GMAT to GRE conversion tables are only estimates. They are not completely accurate, and ETS has acknowledged that its own comparison tool is not 100 percent accurate. You should always keep a margin of error when using them and check what each university actually accepts on its official page.

What to Know About Conversion
| Point | Detail |
|---|---|
| Accuracy | Tables are not completely accurate, so keep a margin of error |
| ETS tool | ETS has admitted its GRE to GMAT comparison tool is not 100% accurate |
| Who converts | Often students who have attended a B-school but want a PhD |
| Acceptance | More colleges are accepting both GMAT and GRE scores |
When Conversion Helps
- If you already have one score, a table can give a rough idea of the other.
- The GRE is generally the better option for graduate courses or a PhD, while the GMAT Focus suits good business schools.
- Each university's own policy matters more than any conversion table.
My Advice
Use conversion tables only as a rough guide. Check each university's official admissions page for the score it accepts, and plan your test based on that.
