For the CBSE, does anyone know approximately how many questions correct out of 200 lead to what score? Like what is a 50, 55, 60 etc or how is it scored exactly.

This may have been answered in another thread. If so, help a brother out and let me get that link
 
Not sure if there is a real correct answer since it is curved and whatnot. The Older NBMEs online and the newer ones it seems like 50 ish wrong or a 75% raw score would get you in the 72-75 range. I felt like the actual test when I took it twice the curve was on the more generous side.
 
This past Feb one a lot of people thought was much harder than previous exams. I believe I got b/w 75-80% correct and got an 81. Obviously impossible to remember and know my exact percent, but just keep in mind that it depends on the curve. The curve is 100% a little more generous than the NBMEs. NBME18 I got 67.5% and that was a 73. Impossible to tell at the end of the day. If you're getting 65% correct I like to believe you're breaking 70
