  …what @artyeasel said. the exact minimum pass score is about the range of 65%, but this is not guaranteed for your particular exam. For peace of mind you should definitely aim for 70%.

  Thanks guys! I meant the score I should be aiming for – 70% sounds pretty high.

  Depends what you mean by pass rate.
  
  % of candidates that pass every year for Level 1 – a little under 40%
  
  pass MARK (i.e. % score on your paper in order to pass your exam) – should be 70%
