Well the mean is 500 which translates to a 82.
I know someone who scored 640 and 680, wound up with 258/99
Id guess 90 give or take 2 points with some luck.

you should get around 93-97 your nbme is a 95 ... I think you know what you have to do... just stick to it!!!.... Also, really go over the nbme questions, if you have the extra $$, then buy the self paced version and go over them hardcore AGAIN; They are VERY high yield. The only other suggestion i have to get some nyquil and have a little bit before you go to sleep. the last few days i was really tossing and turning (ending up sleeping at 4 or 5am...) but I started taking a little nyquil around 11:00 for the last three nights, and if you lay down by 11:30... you will be wide awake in the morning.
