It depends upon how many
It depends upon how many questions you answered correct.

You assessment saying to pass PMP...
Your assessment saying, to pass PMP you should score atleast 5MP is wrong, I can bet on it.
Keep in mind, MP is passing grade defined by PMI, whether you score MP or P, it really does not matter from the context of passing grade and PMP certificate. With 1-BP you will pass for sure, as I know not a single case who has failed. With 2-BP, in majority of the case you will fail, but there could be some exceptional cases here, as I know one of my student who has passed with 2-BP and I guess, even 1 or 2 such people have also shared such experience here on Pmzilla.
Good Luck!
Saket, PMP

I agree that it depends on
I agree that it depends on the number of questions you answer correctly. I know on my first attempt i scored 2BPs + 3MPs and failed. I assumed that you one would need at least 4 MPs.
My suggestion would be to aim for 5Ps.

How does PMI assess? is in her
How does PMI assess?- is in her (PMI) hand.
What is in my hand , what I can do best for?
It is only to score maximum marks in each domain.
Is any body here , Who can suggest, what other than this I can do to make my result in favor?

I have seen many mock test patterns, but all give only total score and domain wise score and their passing % age like 75, 65, 80, or so.
I havent seen any mock test gives result in BP, MP and P. What is criteria of Ps of test you have given.
%age of passing or Ps is vary with the level of difficulty of question of the mock tests.
like PMzilla tough 200 - 60% is ok
Rita super = 60% Ok
RIta = 70% ok
PMPforsure =65% ok
others PMstydy, simpli,edwel == 75 is ok
examcentral / FH = 80 is ok
OK means 70 to 75 % of PMP(approximation) = in turn of Ps may be equivelant of 4ps+1mp (its my guess, no records)
So now you can judge your score.
If you have time , you may refer this link -http://pmzilla.com/what-your-total-age-mock-exams
