Who Should Take This Exam
A+ Core 1 is the first of two exams required for CompTIA A+ certification. It's designed for entry-level IT professionals with 9-12 months of hands-on experience. It validates skills in hardware, networking, mobile devices, virtualization, and troubleshooting that IT support specialists use daily.
How Our Mocks Work
All 6 mocks are blueprint-weighted — questions are distributed proportionally across domains matching the official exam blueprint. 3-4 PBQs appear first in each mock, exactly like the real exam. Questions are seeded per mock so you get different content in each attempt without repeating.
Core 1 vs Core 2
Core 1 (220-1201) covers hardware, networking, mobile devices, virtualization, and hardware troubleshooting. Core 2 (220-1202) covers operating systems, security, software troubleshooting, and operational procedures. You need to pass BOTH exams to earn your A+ certification. Both are available here for free.
