Is there one pass mark for every QCHP exam?
No. QCHP sets the pass mark exam by exam, from 50% to 65%, so a single figure quoted online is wrong for most professions. Use your own exam's row in the table.
What score should I aim for in practice tests?
Comfortably above your exam's pass mark on full-length, timed practice - a margin of 10 to 15 points is a sensible target, because a mock is only a sample of the real paper.
