Hi RBOWMAN,
Yes! In general, you need to aim for above 50% correct to ensure a pass. The scores are scaled so there is no exact number that will always produce a pass for all exams, or even all versions of the same exam.
All DANTES exams are graded (at least they are at Excelsior). So a minimum passing score would only earn you a grade C. If you are looking for A's or B's, you will need to aim for higher than 50%.
Hope that helps,
