I also had the similar kind of query and asked PMstudy (from where I took my contact hours): and I also cross verified with PMI and it is the same.
Hope this helps:

The passing score for all PMI exams is determined by sound psychometric analysis. PMI uses subject matter experts from across the globe to help establish a point at which each candidate should pass the exam(s) and the exam point of difficulty. Data that show how candidates actually performed are cross referenced with the subject matter experts to ensure that the point of difficulty on each exam is healthy."
As per PMI, in addition to the overall pass/fail status, important diagnostic information on your performance is provided for each domain. This information provides specific guidance for both passing and failing candidates.
Your test results are reported in two ways:
1. A pass/fail result score is generated based on your overall performance on the examination.
2. The second level of results is the assignment of one of three proficiency levels to each chapter.
• Each topic domain is assigned one of three levels of proficiency—Proficient, Moderately
Proficient and Below Proficient—based on the number of questions answered correctly within the domain.
• This provides direction about your strengths and weaknesses.
PMI defines the levels of “proficiency” as follows:
Proficient – indicates performance is above the average level of knowledge in this chapter. Moderately Proficient – indicates performance that is at the average level of knowledge in this chapter.
Below Proficient – indicates performance is below the average level of knowledge in this chapter.

PMI PMP exam pass score
Hi Rich,
I also had the similar kind of query and asked PMstudy (from where I took my contact hours): and I also cross verified with PMI and it is the same.
