Does anyone know how many questions can be missed (roughly speaking) to get in the 20's? In other words, if there is 30 questions in the OChem section, how many questions would I need to get correct in order to pull 20 or above? Is there a scale? Thanks in advance!

i think it's about 3 or 4, depends on the difficulty of the test
 
According to Kaplan Conversion Chart:
Math/score of 20+ on perspective section=(29+answers correct/40 total)
Reading/=(38+answers correct/50 total)
Bio/=(34+correct/40)
GChem/=(26+/30)
OChem/=(25+/30)
TS/=(81+/100)
PAT/=(70+/90)
