No one can give precise answers to questions about "how many mistakes can I make..." for quite a few reasons. For one, your experimental questions simply don't count, so in theory you could get them all wrong and still get an 800. But there is also a lot of variation from test to test, just because everyone sees a different set of questions no matter how they perform. So on GMATPrep tests the number of mistakes you can afford to make and get a Q50 or Q51 will depend in part on how many crazy-hard questions happen to appear during your test. You'll have much more leeway to make mistakes on those questions than on just the regular-hard questions. You also will be hurt more by mistakes on easier questions, so your score depends specifically on which questions you get wrong.
On GMATPrep you can at least sometimes get a Q51 with a couple of mistakes, and you can get a Q50 with quite a lot of mistakes provided those are only on the hardest questions. In Verbal, even one mistake will normally lower your score to V50 or V49, and two mistakes to V48 or V47. No one can tell you if that will be true on your real test however, since it depends on the difficulty level of the questions you happen to see.
I'd add that you should never draw any conclusions about the GMAT scoring algorithm from prep company tests, since no prep company uses the real scoring algorithm.
