CompTIA A+ Certification Exam: Core 1 is an official CompTIA certification exam, listed under the code 220-1201. Clearing it earns the A+ certification, a Entry-level-level credential. It also ties into CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202), CompTIA A+ Certification, which makes it a useful anchor for a longer certification plan. For employers, the value is simple: the vendor itself has verified what you know.

You will work through Maximum 90 questions questions in 90 minutes on the CompTIA A+ Certification Exam: Core 1 exam. The content is only half the battle; the clock is the other half. Train both at once: set the ExamPrepAway test engine to full timed mode, practice skipping and returning to stubborn items, and repeat until finishing with minutes to spare feels normal rather than lucky.

Passing CompTIA A+ Certification Exam: Core 1 requires 675 (on a scale of 100-900), and the official registration fee is $252 USD (subject to change). Remember that a retake bills the same $252 USD (subject to change) all over again, so winging it is the most expensive strategy on the table. A better approach: benchmark yourself with the ExamPrepAway practice tests first, and schedule the real exam only once your scores sit comfortably and consistently above the requirement.

Recommended: 9-12 months of hands-on experience as a PC or support technician, or completion of CompTIA A+ training course. No strict prerequisites required.

Requirements do evolve, so before you spend a registration fee, verify the current conditions on the official exam page.
