The introduction of a new version of the GMAT (in this case, the GMAT Focus Edition) does not inherently change the relative value of a score on the current version of the GMAT. A 710 on the current GMAT still indicates a strong performance, as it generally falls around the 90th percentile. However, it's important to note that how business schools interpret these scores can evolve over time. Admissions committees may need time to familiarize themselves with the new testing format and understand how scores on the Focus Edition correlate with student success. Until there is substantial data showing a clear correlation between performance on the new test format and student success in business school, it's unlikely that the relative value of a 710 on the current GMAT would change significantly. It's also worth noting that GMAT scores are just one factor that business schools consider in their admissions processes. Other factors such as undergraduate GPA, work experience, essays, letters of recommendation, and interviews also play a crucial role. So while a high GMAT score is beneficial, it is not the sole determinant of admission or success in business school. In summary, while we can't quantify an exact change in the relative value of a 710 GMAT score after the introduction of a new version of the test, it's reasonable to assume that, at least in the short term, the score will maintain its value until there is substantial data on the new test's predictability of business school success.
