I took NBME 7 and got 79.5% correct which translated to a 217. I was wondering what percent correct do I need to get something in the 220 range.
If you got something in the 220s, what percent correct did it equate to? Thanks!

If you do a search on the interwebs, you'll find a PDF chart floating around somewhere that lets you convert % correct on NBMEs to a three digit score. You'll be able to get the answer to your question with it.

I personally have never downloaded/used it, but I've seen it referred to in the past on these boards.. mainly for the use of people who did not purchase the NBME exams online.

I believe 220 is about 80-82% correct, 230 is about 84-86% and 240 is about 89-91%

Wow, that is only a difference of a few questions.
