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.
Thanks for all your valuable suggestions. Saving Changes...
85% of 200, does this mean 175/200, or in other words 85% including or excluding 25 dummy questions.

Hi - The minimum marks is not disclosed by PMI like experts advised. Only 175 questions are scored out of 200. At the end of the exam you will get a performance value/rating for each domain and an overall rating for the exam. Since the overall evaluation is algorithm based you would need to do well in nearly all the domains to pass the exam. Before the exam take a look at the 'PMP exam content outline' PDF it gives you an overview of the tasks you need to be aware of in each domain. Also you will see your exam evaluation recorded as 'Exam analysis' on the CCRS dashboard PMI.

It is roughly between 60% and 67% and it varies as it is based on algorithm. So we shouldn't be surprised if we have two identical scores with a PASS and FAIL :) Saving Changes...

Some people said between 75% to 85% but as our colleges said almost secret. So, anyone want to apply PMP, he should thousand questions from websites between these percentages and learn his mistakes to get ready PMP exam!!!

Out of 200 questions only 175 questions are scored. rest 25 are used for assessing the difficulty level and can be incorporated in future question back.
61% of 175 questions is the passing level for getting PMP certifications.
While taking exam one will not come to know which of 175 questions will be scored.
Preparation is the only way to clear PMP exam

it is not published and no one can get you that number.
if you are planning to do the exam. just target 90-85. so, you will be in the save side. Saving Changes...

I have just taken my first attempt at the PMP Exam and I passed all domains except for one and that caused me to fail the test. Focus and practice ITTO's for all domains it is crucial to be able to establish what portion of the project the question is placing you in because it does not out right state it.

Sorry to hear you did not pass the first time.
I looked back at my PMP exam results. I had 1 below proficient, 3 moderately proficient and 1 at proficient. I passed.
So the algorithm may allow for 1 below proficient if it is offset by the other domains. This was before the current way of displaying your results. It did not tell me any more than just the pie chart. The bar now shows you where you are on the pass scale. Where you right on the line? And the Domain performance should tell you what you need to work on.
The good thing is that now you know what to expect and the second time should be easier in regards to time management and understanding how questions can be worded.
You will get it next time. Just focus on the areas you did not do well in.

Yes ITTO's are tricky. I recall many questions where ITTO's were asked about. The best way to learn them is to look at the process flows in the various PMBOK diagrams and understand when and where ITTO's are used. You will start to see patterns and consistencies. At least you know what to focus on. The hard part is over, so study up your weak points and you will do fine. Good luck.
