How many incorrect verbal questions to still get a 10?

It is usually done in a curve. In EK 101 out of 60 questions, you can get 15 wrong. Compute it into a 40 scale and that's about 10.

As the previous poster said, the scoring is done on a curve, so a 10 may be 28 out 40 on a relatively hard test, or 32/40 on a relatively easy test. However, on most AAMC practice cbts a 10 usually consisted of about 30 out of 40 questions right. Just to be sure you should really try not to get more than 8-9 questions wrong.

Even though every test is curved, the curve doesn't move much. This is the scale from AAMC CBT #10, it should serve as a good reference point.
