id say 420 should give one the feeling of some security.

hi, well Ido agree with mjl1717, but I want to add one thing more thing, it also depend upon the day of exam. How is your anxiety level on that day, if you are even 460 in nbme, and you are not feeling good then you are gone, and if you got 380 and your day is good, I mean you are stress free and you are focusing in each and every questions, then you may pass. Bottom line is THE EXAM DAY,. I'm not saying that you don't have to do good in nbme, but my point is do hard work as much as you can, bcz even if your day is not good on the day of exam, your prep must be that much good, that it can save you to get thru. I think it will work.
