I received a 31 on AAMC 9. I only need a 29 on the actual exam. I have AAMC 10 and 11 to go. So far my scores have been 26, 28, 29, 30, 31 in that order. How close am I to actually reaching the 29 on the real MCAT?

Most find that their score ends up being their average on all the AAMCs minus 1-2 to account for the realities of test day. For the best approximation, take the next two tests and see if you have a 1-2 point buffer in your average. At the end of the day, though, it will still be an approximation.

Sounds like your right where you need to be! As an aside what is with all these threads as of late that are like, "Only need xx MCAT score, am I okay?" Lmao I envy some of these people that are saying they only need scores of 24, and 26 to get into school, gahh where do I sign up for these programs? lmao

based on threads, it looks more like +/- 2 (with outliers in both directions) .... rather than it always being "minus 1-2"
