Would he even be allowed to take the test since he could not feel fear and thus, the ultimate reason for the test would not have any effect on Data?
Answer
The test would be valid for him. Even though he cannot feel fear, it would still determine how focused under pressure he would be. Even an unemotional android could freeze under pressure. The test was, after all, designed by a Vulcan, under the assumption that other Vulcans might take it.
That being said, I think Data would have done quite well, relatively speaking. He repeatedly demonstrated poise and composure under pressure in both command and non-command situations
Assuming passing involves responding appropriately, and not actually successfully completing the mission objectives, I think Data would have passed.
