Every question is scenario-based, every answer is fully explained, and every domain is covered at the precise weighting used in the real exam.

About the CompTIA A+ Core 2 Exam

The CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) is the second of two exams required to earn the CompTIA A+ certification — one of the most recognised and respected entry-level IT credentials in the industry.

Here is what you need to know about the real exam:

• Exam number: 220-1202

• Maximum of 90 questions per sitting

• 90-minute time limit

• Question types include multiple-choice and performance-based questions

• Passing score: 700 on a scale of 100 to 900

• Recommended experience: approximately 12 months of hands-on experience in an IT support specialist role

The exam tests your ability to configure and manage operating systems, apply security best practices, troubleshoot software issues, and follow professional operational procedures — all within realistic workplace scenarios.

Domain Coverage — Built Around the Official Blueprint

Every practice exam in this course follows the exact domain weighting defined in the CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) V15 Exam Objectives, Version 4.0.

• Operating Systems — 28%

• Security — 28%

• Software Troubleshooting — 23%

• Operational Procedures — 21%

Each of the six practice exams contains 150 questions distributed across all four domains at these precise percentages. Nothing is over-represented. Nothing is left out. You are practising on the same proportional structure as the real exam, every single time.

What Makes These Practice Exams Different

There is no shortage of practice question products in the CompTIA marketplace. What separates this course is the quality, depth, and integrity of every question.

Every question in this series was developed with the following standards in mind:

• Scenario-driven design — questions reflect realistic IT support, helpdesk, and desktop support job tasks rather than abstract recall

• CompTIA-style phrasing — candidates encounter language like MOST likely, FIRST step, BEST solution, and LEAST disruptive, mirroring the cognitive style of the real exam

• Plausible distractors — all four answer options are credible, requiring genuine understanding rather than guesswork

• No repeated scenarios across sets — all six practice exams are independently unique, giving you 900 non-duplicated questions

• Aligned to V15 objectives only — no outdated content, no deprecated technologies, no unsupported Windows versions

Questions span a balanced difficulty range. Approximately 20% are accessible and confidence-building, 50% reflect moderate exam-level difficulty, and 30% are genuinely challenging multi-step scenarios designed to stretch your understanding and prepare you for the harder questions you will encounter on the real exam.
