How Does Your GMAT Score Compare to Your Country Average?

Below is the percentile of the mean total score for each country's test-taker pool by testing year. It is not the average percentile of individuals. Higher values mean the country's average total score sat higher in the global score distribution for that year and exam edition. For how percentiles work on your own score report, see our GMAT Focus scoring guide.

Countries are included only if total exams taken was at least 100 in each reporting column in the same GMAC source table (six periods from TY2021 through TY2025, including separate TY2024 columns for the 10th Edition and the current GMAT exam). Values are copied from GMAC's public country tables; exam mix and pool composition change by year, so read year-to-year shifts as context, not precision forecasts. Use the checkboxes to show or hide each country on the chart.
