What this 220-1102 practice test covers
This free 220-1102 practice test mirrors the structure and difficulty of the real CompTIA A+ Core 2 220-1102 exam. Every question is written against the official 2026 exam blueprint published by CompTIA, ensuring you practise exactly what the exam tests — not last year's objectives.
The 220-1102 blueprint is divided into 4weighted domains. Questions on this page are distributed proportionally across each domain, so the mix you see here reflects the same weighting you'll face on exam day. High-weight domains like Operating Systems and Security contribute the most questions, meaning focused practice on these areas gives you the highest return on study time.

How to use this practice test effectively
Getting the most from practice questions requires more than just clicking through answers. Here is the study method used by candidates who pass 220-1102 on their first attempt:
Answer before revealing
Read each 220-1102 question fully, eliminate obviously wrong choices, then commit to an answer before clicking to reveal. This active recall process is what builds lasting knowledge.
Read every explanation
Even when you answer correctly, read the full explanation. Knowing WHY the right answer is correct — and why the distractors are wrong — is what separates a 750 score from a 900 score.
Track weak domains
Note which 220-1102 domains you get wrong most often. Then do a targeted 20-30 question session focused only on that domain until your accuracy improves.
Simulate exam pacing
The real 220-1102 gives you roughly 0.1 minutes per question. Use the 60 or 120-question sessions to practise hitting that pace comfortably.
Most candidates who pass 220-1102 on their first attempt report doing between 400 and 800 practice questions over 4–8 weeks of preparation. With 1,000+ questions in the Courseiva bank, you have more than enough material to build that repetition without seeing the same question twice.

220-1102 study strategy and exam preparation
A structured study plan dramatically increases your chances of passing 220-1102 on the first attempt. The most effective approach combines reading the official CompTIA documentation or a study guide, watching video explanations for difficult concepts, and then reinforcing everything with daily practice questions.
We recommend the following weekly structure for 220-1102 preparation:
Cover each 220-1102 domain systematically. Read the exam objectives, watch explanatory content, and do 10–20 practice questions per domain to test understanding as you go.
Run full 50–60 question mixed sessions daily. Review every wrong answer in detail. Identify which domains are consistently scoring below 70% and revisit those study materials.
Do 100–120 question timed sessions to simulate real exam conditions. Aim for consistent scores above 80% before booking your exam date. A score above 80% in practice typically translates to a passing 220-1102 score.
On exam day, the 220-1102 tests your ability to apply knowledge to realistic scenarios — not just recall definitions. This is why reading explanations and understanding the reasoning behind every answer matters more than simply grinding question volume. Use the high-count sessions (100, 120) in the final weeks as your confidence benchmark.

Scaled scoring
The 220-1102 exam uses a scaled scoring system — your raw score of correct answers is converted to a score out of 1000. This means a passing score of 700 does not mean you need 70% of questions correct; the conversion algorithm accounts for question difficulty. In practice, consistently scoring above 75–80% on our practice tests puts you in a strong position to achieve 700+ on the real exam.
CompTIA uses performance-based questions (PBQs) in some 220-1102 exams alongside standard multiple-choice. PBQs ask you to complete simulated tasks in a lab environment. While our practice questions focus on the knowledge and scenario-based questions that make up the majority of the exam, the domain knowledge you build here applies equally to PBQs.
220-1102 practice test — frequently asked questions
Is this 220-1102 practice test really free?
Yes — all questions on this page are free with no account required. You can also start a full untimed session of 10, 20, 30, 50, 60, 100 or 120 questions from the sidebar without signing up.

How realistic are these 220-1102 practice questions?
Every question is written against the official 220-1102 exam blueprint published by CompTIA. Our questions follow the same wording style, scenario complexity, and answer structure as the actual exam. They are original questions — not brain dumps — so you learn the underlying concepts and reasoning, not just memorised answers. Candidates who study with brain dumps often pass but have no transferable knowledge; Courseiva questions make you genuinely competent.
How many 220-1102 practice questions should I do per day?
Most candidates who pass 220-1102 on their first attempt do 30–60 questions per day. Use the Quick 10 session for daily warm-ups when you are short on time. On study days, run a 50 or 60-question session to build stamina. Reserve 100 and 120-question sessions for the final two weeks when you want to simulate real exam conditions and benchmark your readiness.
What domains does the 220-1102 exam cover?
The 220-1102 covers 4 domains: Operating Systems (null%), Security (null%), Software Troubleshooting (null%), Operational Procedures (null%). Each domain carries a different weight, so allocate your study time accordingly. The highest-weighted domains — Operating Systems and Security — should receive the most attention.
How is this different from exam dumps?
Exam dumps are memorised question-and-answer lists taken from actual exam papers, often obtained illegally and shared without CompTIA's authorisation. Using them violates your NDA and CompTIA's certification agreement, and can result in certification revocation. Courseiva questions are 100% original — written by certified engineers to test the same knowledge areas using new scenarios and wording. You learn the material, not just the answers.
