Does anyone know how the two correlate? The scores given by this calculator seem kind of optimistic.

Also, I'm thinking about pushing my test date (Jul 7) back a week. Any thoughts on that?

One thats been floating around is 2.4 X percent correct plus 84. I think its closer to 2.2 though.

ANY correlation on the UW vs. Step score issue is rough at best. Don't hang your hat on it.

That said: RapplixGmed here on SDN looked into exactly what you're talking about, and then published some stats on what he found. You'll find that here.

Anecdotally: there's the (UW)*2.4+84 thing, and the "65%-70% should be ~240 territory" thing. fwiw.
