This is a closely guarded secret by PMI but most guesses would place it in the low 60's. It is not just a function of how many questions you got right, but also your ranking (above, on, below target) in each domain...

I side with Kiron, You should not get needs improvement in any domain but if you want to test your self you should get 85% or above on simulated 200 questions tests and do two or three different set of questions , be able to solve 1600 questions correct before you set for real exam.

I agree with my colleagues here and I also think that the passing score varies and It depends on the difficulty level of the questions you get. Out of the 200 questions, only 175 are scored. The rest are called pre-test questions which do not add to your score.

always aim for 85% in your Q&A so you can get above 60s% in exam

It's somewhere around the mid 60's. If I had to guess I would say 67% (and it's purely a guess) so that two thirds correct answers constitutes sound knowledge. But as Kiron alluded to, you could get 100% in one domain but fail the exam. Consistency across domains is the key.

No answer to this. Some algorithm based on questions provided and answered. I've seen two essentially identical 'results' one being a pass, the other a fail.
