The CompTIA A+ certification is the industry-leading entry point into IT careers, validating fundamental knowledge in hardware, networking, operating systems, and troubleshooting across two exams: Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202). Offered by CompTIA, a leading nonprofit certifying IT professional competency, the A+ credential is recognized globally by employers as proof that you can configure, manage, and troubleshoot end-user devices and networks.

The CompTIA A+ certification is ideal for anyone starting an IT career or transitioning from another field. It's typically the first step before pursuing specialized credentials like CompTIA Security+ or Network+. The exam targets support technicians, desktop support specialists, and junior IT administrators. Whether pursuing Help Desk, field service, or technical support roles, A+ validates the foundational knowledge employers expect.

The certification consists of two exams: Core 1 (220-1201) focuses on hardware, mobile devices, networking, and troubleshooting; Core 2 (220-1202) emphasizes operating systems, security, and software troubleshooting. Each exam contains up to 90 questions with a 90-minute time limit. You must score 675 on Core 1 and 700 on Core 2 (on a scale of 100–900). The exams can be taken in either order, and you have up to three years to complete both.

The real exam includes multiple-choice and drag-and-drop questions with practical scenarios testing troubleshooting skills. Unlike some certifications, A+ focuses on breadth across nine domains rather than depth in a single area, meaning your preparation must be well-rounded. Practice exams are essential because they familiarize you with question styles, test your speed under exam pressure, and help identify knowledge gaps before test day.

Our comprehensive practice sets span all nine official exam domains—Hardware, Networking, Mobile Devices, Virtualization, Troubleshooting, Operating Systems, Security, Software Troubleshooting, and Operational Procedures—with questions weighted to match the real exam distribution. Each question includes detailed explanations so you understand not just correct answers but the underlying concepts.
