Hi guys,
I just took NBME form 3 online and got a 350 (178). I then used this site:
http://www.usmleforum.com/files/forum/2008/1/353721.php
to see how many questions I got right. I ended up getting 120/200. I was hoping others could do what I did and post the results on this thread so that when we do offline NBMEs, we can get a sense of what our score would be.
ie. I plan on doing forms 1,2, and 4 offline and seeing how many total questions I get right in each form. I want to be able to correlate the amt of questions I get right with an actual score. I know there are conversion formulas out there but who knows how accurate they are. I was thinking this would be a good way to get a very accurate NBME score without having to pay $45.

So is this similar to the breakdown we can expect on the real test? Is the minimum passing level (MPL) really around a 65%? Thanks
