3 A+ Core 1 (220-1101) practice exams are free — no signup, no credit card. Campaign Pass unlocks the full bank: 1,252 questions across 53 exams, all mapped to Core 1 objectives. Core 2 is not in the bank yet, and A+ requires passing both exams — details below, no fine print.
All 1,252 questions in the bank target Core 1 — the exam itself runs up to 90 questions in 90 minutes. CompTIA weights the five domains as shown below. Hardware & Network Troubleshooting alone carries 29% of your score, so give it a matching share of your practice time.
Laptops, mobile hardware, display components, and device connectivity.
TCP/IP basics, common ports, wireless standards, and SOHO network setup.
RAM, storage, CPUs, motherboards, peripherals, and power supplies.
Cloud models, client-side virtualization, and virtual machine setup.
The biggest domain: troubleshooting methodology applied to everything above.
3 of the 53 exams are free — start with a Hardware or Troubleshooting set and see where you stand.
SecuSpark's A+ coverage is Core 1 only right now. Core 2 — operating systems, security, software troubleshooting, and operational procedures — is on the roadmap, but we won't sell you a practice test we haven't built.
In the meantime: drill Core 1 here, and prep Core 2 with Professor Messer's free video series plus CompTIA's official Core 2 objectives. That combination costs nothing and covers the second exam properly.
Plan for both exams from day one. A+ requires passing Core 1 (675 out of 900) and Core 2 (700 out of 900), and vouchers run $274 each — $548 total. Passing one banks that half; you're not certified until you clear both. The full cost math is in our A+ certification cost guide.

Core 1 only, for now. All 1,252 questions map to Core 1 (220-1101) objectives across all five domains. Core 2 is not in the bank yet — pair SecuSpark with Professor Messer's free Core 2 videos until it ships, and remember you must pass both exams to earn A+.
Honest answer: the bank is aligned to the 220-1101 objectives, and we won't relabel it 220-1201 until the questions themselves are updated. Most Core 1 topics carry over between the two versions, so the practice holds up — but read the transition guide before you book a V15 seat.
What changed in 220-1201Core 1 passes at 675 out of 900 and Core 2 at 700 out of 900 — the scores are unchanged in the 220-1201/1202 series. You must pass both exams to earn the A+ certification.
How many questions you can missPractice until you are scoring consistently above the pass mark on full-length exams, not just on a handful of questions. With 1,252 Core 1 questions available, you can cover every domain several times before you book.
