Offline NBME's are never predictable.It is always better to take atleast one NBME online.

Though a score of 40+ out of 50 per block will put you in comfortable position(around mid 90's)

mulitply percentage by 2.8=gives three digit score

2.8? That cannot be right! You only need about 65% right to pass and 2.8 x 65 = 182 it is closer to 3 x the percentage right...........................
