does anyone know the percentage correlation for the nbme test?

i.e. if i score 80% of the questions right on the nbme tests (forms 1-4), what is my equivalent score?

When you take these tests it gives you a printout suggesting what your score will translate to.

Are you talking about the free questions that you get when you register or the questions that you buy for $45. The ones you buy tell you your projected score but I dont think the free ones do. So its hard to predict.

The ones you buy correlate really well with the score that most people get on the actual exam.

There's no way to guess the percentage u get correctly with what u can get on the exam. Anyway, the real test might be graded according to what % of students get that particular question right, that's what was suggested in this thread. Sounds reasonable
