Mapped to every 220-1201 objective

All five domains at exam weight. Your readiness score tracks each one, so you drill weakness instead of re-studying comfort zones.

PBQ-style interactive questions — included

The A+ Core 1 exam doesn't stop at multiple choice. Neither does this bank.

~50 PBQ-style interactive questions, built in the formats this cert actually tests:

  • Hardware & connector matching
  • Network-diagram labeling
  • Install-step ordering
  • Fill-in-the-blank

CompTIA sells its official PBQ practice separately at $149+ per exam. Here it's part of the $59 — not an add-on, not an upsell. Included.

Judge the quality yourself

A real question from the A+ Core 1 bank. Every one of the 1,302 works like this.

A+ Core 1 220-1201 Domain 1 — Mobile Devices

A technician is choosing a replacement cable for a customer's tablet and needs a connector that can be inserted in either orientation. Which connector type BEST meets this requirement?

  1. A. USB-C Correct
  2. B. USB Micro-B
  3. C. USB Mini-B
  4. D. Standard USB-A

Why A is correct

USB-C uses a symmetrical, oval-shaped connector that can be inserted in either orientation — no flipping the cable three times before it fits. That reversibility is a defining feature of the connector, which is why it BEST meets the requirement.

Why the others are incorrect

USB Micro-B and USB Mini-B are both keyed connectors that only fit one way — insert them upside down and they simply won't seat. Legacy USB-A is also orientation-specific, which is exactly the everyday annoyance USB-C was designed to eliminate.

A+ Core 1 questions, answered straight

“Is this the current 220-1201 version, not the old 220-1101?”
Yes — everything here is written to the 220-1201 objectives that launched in 2025. Lifetime access means you keep getting updates for as long as this exam version is live.
“I'm brand new to IT. Is this too advanced for me?”
A+ is where most IT careers start, and the questions meet you there. When you get one wrong, the explanation teaches you the concept — not just the answer — so the question bank doubles as a study tool, not a final exam.
“Are these copied from the real exam?”
Never. Every question is written from scratch against CompTIA's published objectives. Brain dumps can get your certification revoked; original practice can't.
“Do I need this AND a Core 2 bank?”
The A+ certification requires passing both Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202) — they're separate exams with separate vouchers. This bank covers Core 1; we have a matching bank for Core 2.

Don't gamble the $265 voucher.
