Free CompTIA A+ (Core 1) Practice Test (220-1201)

Up to 90 questions in 90 minutes. The exact number varies between test forms, which is why the objectives say "up to" rather than giving a fixed count.

675 out of 900. The scale is not a percentage and the questions are not all worth the same, so you cannot work backwards to "I need to get X questions right".

Yes. The A+ certification is only awarded once you have passed both Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202). They are booked and sat separately, in either order, and each is paid for separately.

Core 1 is the hardware half: mobile devices, networking, hardware, virtualisation and cloud, and hardware and network troubleshooting. Core 2 is the software half: operating systems, security, software troubleshooting and operational procedures.

A+ is aimed at entry-level support roles, so if you already have a few years on a service desk it may be worth going straight to Network+ or Security+. It is most useful when you need a first credential on a CV that has no formal IT qualifications on it yet.

No, and be wary of any site that claims otherwise. Every question here is written from scratch against the published exam objectives. Sitting an exam having memorised leaked live questions breaks the non-disclosure agreement you accept at the test centre and can get your certification revoked.

Yes. Without an account you get 20 questions a day, and the count resets every day. A free account removes the daily cap and unlocks the full CompTIA A+ (Core 1) question bank, flashcards, study notes, performance-based questions, a timed exam simulator and a readiness score. There is no paid tier and no card required.
