This comes up a lot. The short answre is that there isn't a fixed number of correct answers that produces a Q80 or a V80, because the GMAT Focus is a computer-adaptive test.
Here's what that means in practice. Your score is based not only on how many questions you answer correctly, but also on the difficulty of the questions you answer correctly and incorrectly. As you work through a section, the algorithm continuously re-estimates your ability and adjusts the difficulty of what it serves you next. So it's homing in on the level you can consistently handle rather than tallying a raw count.
Because of that, two people can answer the same number of questions correctly and still end up with significantly different scores. If you're getting harder questions right, each correct answer carries more weight than an easier one, and a miss on a hard question late in the section affects your score differently than a miss on an easier one. This is why strong scorers routinely get a handful of questions wrong and still post a good section score. The count is one part of the picture, and the difficulty of what you get right and wrong is the other.
So instead of aiming for a target number correct, I'd aim to consistently and accurately handle questions at the medium-to-hard level, because that's what maps to a Q80 or V80. And the way you build that is topic by topic. Learn the concepts and techniques for one area, practice only that area until your accuracy is high and the approach feels routine, then move on. When your accuracy across the content is solid, the difficulty the algorithm serves you rises, and the section score follows.
This article breaks down exactly how the scoring and the adaptive algorithm work: How Is the GMAT Exam Scored?
Hope this helps, and good luck with your prep.

Try your best to not make a mistake in the first 5 of each section.. I've noticed that it gets really hard to get a harder level question if you make a mistake in beginning, and that drops your score by a lot.
