Plugging this into Excel allowed me to generate the following ready-reckoner, with an accuracy of 0.12!

EDIT: I found this formula when was browsing the net.

(USMLEWorld avg. x 2.4) + 84 = approximate Step 1 three-digit score

It might be too simple for real conversion - but at least it gives some idea.
