what i hv heard from people saying is usually above 160 correlates with above 90....
+_ 10 here n there is still good...i think u r good to go for an online nbme!!..again online n offline experience is much different......so my suggestion go for it
good luck!

hi umlemle,
sorry for the late reply.
I do agree with doitperfect1 regarding the score correlation.
All my seniors told me that in offline NBME, one should score 44+ correct in each block to get 97+ in actual exam. Anything above 40 correct per block will easily push you above 90.
Also a 99er told me that it is not at all useful to take offlines..and i kinda agree with him too.Take few NBME`s but take them online.They will tell you your weak areas and yes, one more thing--please make sure that the answer key you have, is "correct" for offline versions.Most of the answer keys available on web are wrong.Do a bit of research on getting the correct answer keys....
anywez, best luck for the online version....
