NBME 3 score 540

I want to get your opnion on what this would actually mean for the real test, with an NBME 3 score of 540.
I have to be honest and say I didn't think the exam was too difficult. I found NBME 3 somewhat easier than UW. But does that mean the real test is easier than UW or somewhere in between UW and NBME?
I want to be happy that I at least got to 540 for now (although I was pissed I made stupid mistakes here and there), with a few weeks till the test but don't know how predictive the NBME 3 score is.
Any thoughts?

thats a good score with weeks to go, in my opinion nbme 6 and 7 are the closest to the real test but everyone has a different exam.

thanks kryptik.. i intend to do 4-7 as I work on my weak areas. I noticed from the sdn'ers that took their test recently that nbme 7 tends to overestimate a bit in comparison to nbme 6, which seemed pretty close to the actual score. Not a whole lot of people took nbme 3 though, so don't really know what to make of it as far as how predictive it is.
