What is the passing score for PMP?
The vendor does not publish one
PMI does not report a numeric score. Each domain is rated on four proficiency levels: Above Target, Target, Below Target and Needs Improvement.
That is the whole answer, not a gap in our data. Where a vendor reports pass or fail, any percentage you find elsewhere was inferred by someone who does not have the number either.
What this means for your preparation
Without a published line, the useful measure is your accuracy per exam domain — that is what the vendor's own feedback reports back to you when you do not pass.
