What is the required passing score for PMP Examination?

[Akil]

Hi,

I have been trying to find out the passing percentage for the PMP examination. But could find only varying answers. The PMBOK handbook does not give any specific number, while Rita's book says its 61%, again the Kim Heldman's study guide says one needs to get 141 answers correct to pass the exam.

Whats the truth?

Thanks & Regards,
