Start Your CompTIA A+ Journey

Free CompTIA A+ practice exam questions are your first step toward mastering the industry's most popular entry-level IT certification. The CompTIA A+ credential is recognized globally by employers as proof that you can troubleshoot hardware, manage networks, secure systems, and support end users. Our free practice exams help you gauge your knowledge, identify weak spots, and build exam-ready confidence before test day.

What CompTIA A+ Covers

The CompTIA A+ certification consists of two exams: Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202). Together they validate your ability to install and configure hardware, diagnose network issues, manage mobile devices, administer Windows and Linux systems, implement security practices, and follow operational procedures. The exam tests both foundational knowledge and practical troubleshooting skills used daily by support technicians and IT administrators.

What's in These Practice Exams

Our free CompTIA A+ practice questions span all nine official exam domains:

  • Hardware – installing, configuring, and troubleshooting components
  • Networking – protocols, topologies, and troubleshooting connectivity
  • Mobile devices – managing iOS and Android devices and apps
  • Virtualization and cloud computing – understanding VMs and cloud services
  • Hardware and network troubleshooting – hands-on diagnostic techniques
  • Operating systems – Windows, macOS, and Linux configuration and support
  • Security – authentication, encryption, and threat prevention
  • Software troubleshooting – diagnosing and fixing application problems
  • Operational procedures – ticketing, documentation, and change management

The first set is completely free with no payment required. Use it to experience the question style and difficulty before deciding to unlock additional sets.

How to Use These Effectively

Don't just memorise answers. Read the explanation for every question you get wrong and understand why the correct answer is right. Track your score across multiple sets to measure improvement over time. If you're consistently weak in networking or security, spend extra study time on those domains before the real exam. Time yourself on later sets to build speed under exam pressure, since you'll have 90 minutes to answer up to 90 questions.
