How many questions do you have to get right roughly in each sections of the UKCAT to get scores like 700 -800.

in the actual exam your results are scored relatively (they're not completely clear on exactly how it's marked) so even if you score the same no. of questions you might get 600 in one section and 800 in another
It varies year on year. You're marked against the test cohort for that year. So if you get the same number of questions correct in a section as the highest scorer in the test cohort, you'd get 900.

No one can tell you how many you need to get to get a certain score unfortunately.

Unless they have changed it, you are actually marked against the scores of the first cohort to ever sit the exam and then it is "scaled" to take into account the performance in the current year's exam (or has been since the wonderful DA cock up of 2014, anyway!).
