Anyone know what percentage of verbal questions you should be getting right in order to get at least a 10? I'm just looking for an approximate based on your experience taking FL practice tests (TPR, AAMC, Kaplan). I know the MCAT is graded on a curve, but I want to kind of guage how I'm doing at practice passages.

You can use AAMC CBT #10's scale to get a rough idea:
-----PS ----VR ---BS
15 52-52 40-40 51-52
14 50-51 39-39 50-50
13 49-49 38-38 47-49
12 46-48 37-37 46-46
11 44-45 34-36 43-45
10 41-43 31-33 39-42
9 38-40 29-30 35-38
8 33-37 27-28 32-34
7 28-32 24-26 29-31
6 23-27 21-23 26-28
5 19-22 19-20 23-25
4 15-18 15-18 20-22

It changes based on the test you're taking. But AAMC 9, 10, and 11 do approximate the scale pretty well, give or take 1 or 2 questions. For a 10 on VR, you would probably need a 30/40 on a harder test or around 32/40 on an easier one, so get that 32/40 just to be sure.
