I know it's 60% of your pma for the final. I'm just just curious how it works. I'm going in with a 3.90, how good are my chances if our final multiple is around 157?

(PMA*50)-80

for ur case Ull have a starting score of 115.  

Out of 175 u need to at least score 62 to be FMS 150

100/175 - .57 per correct question if we assume this is the baseline than ur FMS is 150.33  However if ur whole community does well on the exam ur FMS can be higher as well as lower if they all did poorly.
