Official blueprint
The 220-1201 exam covers 5 domains. Each domain has a defined weight — the percentage of exam questions it contributes. Courseiva has 29 practice questions mapped across these objectives.

Domain 3 of CompTIA A+ Core 1 220-1201 covers laptop hardware, mobile device connectivity, and mobile OS configuration. Expect scenario questions on touchpad and keyboard settings, display and battery replacement, Bluetooth and NFC pairing, hotspot and tethering setup, and locating power-hungry apps in Android and iOS settings.
4 practice questions available
Domain 2 (Networking) covers 23% of Core 1 220-1201: OSI and TCP/IP models, ports and protocols, IP addressing and subnetting, wireless standards and security, network types and hardware, plus CLI tools like ipconfig, ping, tracert, nslookup, netstat, and network troubleshooting methodology. Questions are scenario-based, asking you to diagnose connectivity failures or pick the correct configuration.
7 practice questions available
Domain 1 (Hardware) covers the physical components of desktops, laptops, and mobile devices: motherboards, CPUs, RAM, storage, power supplies, and peripherals. On 220-1201 it is tested through scenario-based troubleshooting questions where you identify a failed or undersized component and select the correct replacement or diagnostic step.
7 practice questions available
This domain covers cloud service and deployment models, virtualization types and resource requirements, and the practical tradeoffs of running workloads off physical hardware. Questions are scenario-based: you pick the least disruptive or most appropriate solution, such as a compatibility mode, hypervisor type, or cloud storage tier, and justify it against cost, performance, and access needs.
3 practice questions available
This domain covers diagnosing and resolving hardware and network faults on desktops, laptops, printers, and small networks — roughly 28% of Core 1. Questions are scenario-based: you get a symptom, a short list of components or tools, and must pick the cause or the correct next step, including power, storage, printing, and connectivity problems.
8 practice questions available
Start with the highest-weight domain — that's where most of your exam questions will come from. Work through each objective's practice questions until you can answer at least 85% correctly. Return to lower-weight domains last, and use the full practice test to test cross-domain recall.
