# you got correct and multiply it by 1.46= 3 digit usmle score

example if you got 150/200 right then...

150 x 1.46=219 (usmle approximate score) +/- a few points

Hi guys,

I was told to do the calculation like this:-

eg:- If I got 147/200...

147 x 4= 588

Now I get 588/800 is my NMBE score.

And I go and compare on the converter list ...http://usmle-score-correlation.blogspot.com/

Is that also correct? or not?/ pls let me know..

Thanks...

@rangoon...the way you are calculaing is a wrong way.
Goljanfreaks way is almost the right way to do it.
