Applicants must note that the new GMAT score usually ends with 5, thus, the new GMAT score cannot be 620. In comparison to the old GMAT score, the overall scores ended with a zero, so a score of 620 could be converted to the new GMAT scoring range. As per the old GMAT score scale, a score of 620 corresponds to 575 or 585 composite score on the new GMAT scale.
The scale of calculation was different for the old GMAT that is, 200-800. On the other hand for the new GMAT, the score scale is 205-805, thus, the difference. This is why the old GMAT score is higher in calculation in comparison to the new GMAT score scale.

Since it is not always possible to accurately convert new GMAT scores to old GMAT scores, GMAC has released a Concordance Table. In this table there is an old GMAT score and its corresponding new GMAT score followed by the percentile bracket. This table is available on GMAC's website for reference.

An equivalent of 700 on the old GMAT for the new GMAT can have two instances,
| Old GMAT | New GMAT (Focus) | Percentile |
|---|---|---|
| 700 | 645 | 91.3% |
| 700 | 655 | 87.7% |
Thus, there can be either of the two scores - 645 of 655 on the GMAT Focus. Their percentiles are also given above. Each old GMAT score will usually have two corresponding scores, only one GMAT score will be awarded based on the number of questions the applicants have answered.

The old one went from 200 to 800 and ended in zero. Now, the GMAT Focus Edition goes from 205 to 805. All the scores end in a 5. It is very easy to tell the difference.

Yes, based on the latest GMAT score scale, a score of 645 is equivalent to a score of 700 on the previous GMAT scale. The percentile score being 87.7%. The score pf 645 is the new 700 because the GMAT score scale has upgraded. Initially the GMAT was scored on a scale of 200-800 for its 10th Edition. But for the 11th Edition the GMAT score scale has upgraded to 205-805. This is the reason why, the 645 is the new 700 on GMAT 11th Edition.
