I took the SimpliLearn course to prepare for the PMP. I believe they recommended that students score 85% on the practice tests before scheduling the PMP (it might have been 80% or 90%, I don't recall).
I consistently scored much lower, and finally took the PMP out of frustration. I scored well and passed on the first time- evidence that the practice tests were harder than the actual PMP exam. Saving Changes...
I used RMC FASTrack and PMstudy simulation software when I was studying for my PMP exam.
If you are scoring 85% or above consistently in all knowledge areas, you are ready to sit for the exam. Saving Changes...

80% is what I did strived for on the mock exams before I sat for the 4 hour exam. Once I was at 80%, I took the test and passed on the 1st attempt. Saving Changes...
I have used Rita's Mock full length tests. Before you actually attempt them, you should have gone through PMP guide and Rita's Guide fully to understand various phases and concepts thoroughly. Give your best shot even on first mock attempt. It's hard to eliminate choices, if you have not gained real time experience. Also keeping your nergies working at best for 4 full hours is also important. This is where mock tests help. Saving Changes...

The pass mark from the MOCK exam will depends on the level of preparedness of the candidate. From experience and the approach that works well for me is to have 3 different attempts to mock exams at different times. First one, I can Pre-StudyTest, here you attempt the 2 or 3 free practice exams relying solely on your working experience on Project Management. Thus will help you identify area that requires your focus, so the pass mark here is not very important so anything in the range of 45-55% will be acceptable. Second test will be In-between Study Test and obtaining pass mark in the region of 60-70% will be OK. While the third test is Post-Study Test, obtaining mock exam pass mark in the region of 75-85% shows you are ready to go and you have been able to combine the learnings from the study resources with your PM experience .
