Hi Ramoray,
It is better to use PR's scoring chart, and plus the verbal review book that I have says, "..the following chart offers a rough guide, based on the most recently released AAMC materials, of how many correct answers (including correct guesses!) are required for a particular score".

Because Ek's materials are different, and because I have heard from other's responses from 101 Verbal that the tests are different in terms of hard/easy level, I would just use the PR's scoring. Besides each score varies from test to test. Here is straight of PR's verbal review book.

Here, I am putting up the chart from Verbal. It will also help others who are just using the PR practice materials.
Because I am a bit computer illiterate I dont know how to put up a file from excel on here. Sorry about that. So I just copied and pasted.

Ok, from left to right:
Score, Minimum number of Correct Answer s, Max. number of incorrect answers, and Max. % of incorrect.
