How It Works
Drills by Domain
Four drills, two per core: Core 1 mobile, networking and hardware; Core 1 cloud and hardware troubleshooting; Core 2 operating systems and security; and Core 2 software troubleshooting and operational procedures. Questions you miss come back until you have mastered them.
Practice Tests
One full practice exam like the real pair: Core 1 (90 questions in 90 minutes), a 10-minute break, then Core 2 (90 in 90), written the CompTIA way: a technician, a symptom, and the thing to do FIRST, NEXT or BEST.
Built on the 2025 A+ Objectives
CompTIA publishes the domain weighting for each exam, and version 15 (220-1201 and 220-1202) launched in 2025. The practice exam weights each core's 90 questions in its own proportions, so troubleshooting, hardware, networking, operating systems and security get the most weight.

Share FeedbackHow to Pass the CompTIA A+
1. Memorize the troubleshooting methodology in order
Identify the problem, establish a theory, test the theory, establish a plan, verify full functionality, document. The same six steps (and the seven-step malware removal procedure) decide dozens of FIRST and NEXT questions across both cores.
2. Learn the numbers
Ports (22, 25, 53, 80, 110, 143, 443, 445, 3389), private IP ranges, 169.254, cable speeds and distances, USB and SATA speeds, RAID levels and disk counts, the laser printer steps, Wi-Fi standards and channels. The exam tests them as recall and inside scenarios.
3. Think like the help desk
The right answer follows policy: back up before changes, question the obvious, escalate when out of scope, quarantine before you remediate, document everything, respect the customer's data and time. If an option skips a step or risks data, it is a distractor.
4. Drill your weak domain and take both cores
Tigertest tracks your accuracy by domain. Core 1 passes at 675 and Core 2 at 700 of 900, and you need both to certify. Retake the drill you missed most until you clear 80 percent with room to spare, then expect performance-based items on exam day.
CompTIA A+ Frequently Asked Questions
How many questions are on the CompTIA A+ exams?
Each core has up to 90 questions in 90 minutes, mixing multiple choice, multiple response, drag-and-drop and performance-based items. Core 1 (220-1201) passes at 675 of 900 and Core 2 (220-1202) at 700 of 900, and you need both to earn the certification.
Which version of A+ is this for?
The current version 15 objectives, 220-1201 and 220-1202, which launched in 2025 and replaced 220-1101 and 220-1102 in September 2025. Domain names and weights match the new objectives.
Does this include performance-based questions?
Partly. Alongside single-answer and choose-two items, each core includes matching (a table) and ordering items that stand in for performance-based questions. Real PBQs simulate a console or configuration task, which is not modelled here, so pair this bank with hands-on practice in Windows, a home router and a virtual machine.
Should I take Core 1 or Core 2 first?
Most candidates take Core 1 first because hardware and networking are more concrete, but either order works. The drills here are split by core, two each, so you can prepare for one exam at a time.
Is the Tigertest A+ practice test free?
Yes. The full Core 1 and Core 2 practice exam and all four drills are free, with no account required. Create a free account if you want your progress saved across devices.
I teach a CompTIA A+ course. Can my students use Tigertest?
Yes, for free. Make a class at tigertest.io/teach, post one link, and students join with just their name. You see who practiced, their test scores and the topics your class misses most.
