vpbpllc,
Welcome to the forums. I can't say off the top of my head I know of any alternative to FIN 301 (Principles of Finance) other then an actual course. As for a percentage, you'll need 52-55% correct on the exam to pass. You can check out this pdf put out by Prometric on DSST scoring to verify it.
This is the last DSST I have to take and will be tackling it myself shortly. Don't let the fact that it has a bad reputation scare you away... all that means is that you have to really take your time and study for this one. There is no such thing as an "easy" test and a "hard" test... most any test will be harder if you haven't studied for it and every test you study for will be easier. Hang in there and you can do it.
Best of luck to you.
