For 99 percentile you should get 33 questions correct. So it's 11 each section. But that varies from person to person, if VARC for example is your strong section then you might get 18 questions correct in VARC and then 7 in LRDI and 8 correct in QUANTS. Overall it should be 33 correct answers. And you should get minimum 5 questions correct in each section to clear the sectional cutoffs.
