Hello everybody! I recently took the the CBSE at my school and got a scaled score of a 77 which corresponds to a score around 215-220 according to the scale that NBME attached to the score report. I plan to take my Step 1 sometime during middle to late June. i was wondering what my chances were on scoring 240+ on the actual exam?
Cheers,

Based on my own experience, you have a great chance. I scored 30 points higher on step 1 than I did on the CBSE (over a similar time frame as yours).

I think thats a pretty good start. I just got mine back and got a 73 (205-210).. I'm happy with that considering we haven't covered neuropath or musculoskeletal pathology. I'm taking boards June 10th. I have exactly five weeks of dedicated study time after classes end... I guess we'll see what happens!

Best of luck!
