TAGE MAGE scores by school:
what schools actually publish

What do ten schools publish for each pathway?

The table’s order is editorial and says nothing about a school’s requirements. For each school, it shows the pathway for an applicant with a three-year degree who takes the TAGE MAGE. Other programs (MSc, MBA, Executive MBA) are excluded; check their requirements separately. Degree type and country may also determine which pathway is available; a three-year degree alone does not guarantee eligibility.

The final column includes only information published by the school or testing organization, with its scope and time period. All TAGE MAGE scores are out of 600. “Not published” means we found no figure on the pages reviewed; it says nothing about the actual weight of the score in the application. Figures for other tests are not included. An overall competition score is distinguished from the TAGE MAGE score; no conversions between tests or scales are made. Unspecified time periods are flagged.

What do schools publish instead of a cutoff?

HEC, ESCP, SKEMA, and Audencia say there is no TAGE MAGE minimum; ECRICOME says so in its 2026 cycle presentation. Its 2027 page does not repeat that statement, so check the current cycle’s rule with the testing organization. HEC adds nuance: it recommends aiming for its averages and says the admissions-test requirement cannot be waived. Its Master in Management FAQ lists 440 out of 600 as the TAGE MAGE average to aim for (undated page), without identifying the class. For AST 2, Audencia says shortlisted applicants have averaged above 300 out of 600 “in recent years”; it does not specify the exact years or sample size.

Other published figures are not TAGE MAGE admissions cutoffs. EDHEC says on its 2027 AST 2 competition page that scores above 350 are becoming more common: this is an observation, not a minimum. emlyon publishes excellence-scholarship thresholds for international admission to its Master in Management (TAGE MAGE scores of 360 and 400 for 5% and 10% off first-year tuition); these do not determine admission. ESCP publishes English minimums for direct admission (TOEIC Listening and Reading 900, IELTS 6.5, 2027 intake). None of these figures is a TAGE MAGE admissions cutoff.

This distinction between scores and admissions decisions aligns with FNEGE, which administers the test: it does not produce a pass or fail, publishes no session averages, and leaves each institution to decide how to evaluate scores using its own conversion and weighting. ESCP, for example, says the admissions test accounts for 10% of the evaluation for direct admission.

Where do figures found elsewhere come from?

A “target score by school” table on a prep site, forum, or news article should cite its source. It may reproduce an official average, offer advice, or summarize a sample of applicants. Without an identifiable source, pathway, and time period, it cannot tell you which rule applies to your application.

Three factors mean a figure cannot be treated as a cutoff. First, time period: FNEGE says a score is valid for the year taken and the following year, but some schools set their own score windows. Under FNEGE’s rules, a 2025 score remains valid through December 31, 2026; that does not guarantee acceptance for a 2027 intake. A figure without a date cannot be tied to a specific application cycle. Second, scope: one school may offer several pathways, each with its own tests and seats. Finally, the type of figure: an admitted student’s score, an applicant average, and a final admissions-competition score are different things. None alone is an admissions minimum.

We do not provide estimates: when the documents reviewed list no figure for a pathway, the table says so. The checks below can help you make your decision.

How can you assess your score without an official cutoff?

Instead of looking for a single score for a school, make a decision based on verifiable information. The “Good TAGE MAGE score” article explains the process; here are the steps.

• Identify the exact program and pathway: AST 1, AST 2, Tremplin Bac+3, and direct admission do not require the same test or application.
• On the admissions page, note the accepted test, whether the score is required, optional, or a choice, and what the school says about score validity.
• Check whether the school publishes a weighting or conversion; if it does not, write “not published” rather than filling in the gap.
• Track your progress with your own practice and the scoring rules: the “TAGE MAGE scoring” article explains that blank answers earn no points and there is no penalty.
• Ask the admissions office if the page is silent; it is the only source that can confirm the rule for your application cycle.

Where can you find details for each school?

Each school in the table has its own admissions page on the site, with pathways, tests, and published figures, including sources and dates. The TAGE MAGE school directory brings them together.

For general requirements, the article about AST 1 and AST 2 pathways explains which test fits your degree; the AST application article lists required documents; the ECRICOME Tremplin Bac+3 article explains how tests are used by NEOMA and KEDGE; and the score-validity article tells you whether your result is still accepted. If you are considering the GRE, the “TAGE MAGE or GRE” article compares them; for the GMAT, look at percentiles rather than a cutoff; and for English, the article comparing the TOEIC Listening and Reading with the four-skills test can help you check your application requirements.
