Simulate the real CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 exam with full-length timed sessions. Questions drawn proportionally from all 5 official blueprint domains — the same mix you'll face on test day.
Simulate real exam conditions
For the most realistic PT0-002 simulation, start a 60 or 120-question session, put away all notes, set a timer matching the real exam duration (165 minutes), and commit to each answer before moving forward. This trains the time management and decision-making skills the real exam tests.
This free PT0-002 mock exam uses the same question distribution as the real CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 exam. Each session draws questions proportionally from all 5 official blueprint domains published by CompTIA, so the topic mix you see accurately reflects what you'll face on test day.
PT0-002 Domain Distribution
Information Gathering and Vulnerability Scanning
Planning and Scoping
Reporting and Communication
Attacks and Exploits
Tools and Code Analysis
Every question is written by certified engineers against the 2026 PT0-002 exam objectives. These are original practice questions — not dumps — so you build real understanding rather than memorising answers.
Both the mock exam and practice test use the same question bank. The difference is in how you use them — and when to use each during your PT0-002 study plan.
Practice test — for learning
Use the PT0-002 practice test when you are studying a domain. Answer questions, read every explanation immediately, and build understanding. Do 10–30 questions per domain per session. This is your primary study tool for the first 4 weeks.
Go to practice test →Mock exam — for simulation
Use the PT0-002 mock exam in the final 1–2 weeks before your test date. Complete a 60 or 120-question session without stopping, manage your time, then review all results at the end. This builds exam-day stamina and surfaces final weak spots.

During a penetration test, you need to gather information about a target's email addresses and employee names without directly interacting with the target's systems. Which tool is most appropriate for this passive reconnaissance task?

A penetration tester is hired to assess the security of a company's internal network. The tester is given full network diagrams, credentials, and source code. Which type of penetration test is being performed?

During a penetration test, a penetration tester discovers a critical vulnerability that allows unauthenticated remote code execution on a public-facing web server. According to best practices for communication during a penetration test, what should the tester do next?

A penetration tester is conducting an internal network assessment and wants to capture NTLMv2 hashes from Windows hosts without sending any authentication traffic. Which tool and attack technique should the tester use?

Sitting the PT0-002 under real exam conditions is a skill in itself. Candidates who underperform often do so not because of knowledge gaps, but because of poor time management or test anxiety. Use your final mock exam sessions to address both.
The PT0-002 exam lasts 165 minutes. Do not spend more than 90 seconds on any single question on the first pass. Flag difficult ones and return to them after completing the rest.
On every question, immediately eliminate obviously wrong choices. Even if you are unsure between two options, narrowing to two doubles your odds. Most PT0-002 distractors contain a subtle error — re-read the scenario constraint before committing to the answer that sounds most familiar.
CompTIA writes many PT0-002 questions as realistic scenarios. Read the final sentence first — it tells you what is being asked. Then re-read the scenario with the question in mind to avoid wasting time on irrelevant details.
The real PT0-002 is a mental marathon lasting 165 minutes. In the week before your exam, complete at least two full timed mock sessions on separate days to build concentration stamina. If you cannot stay focused for 165 minutes in practice, you will struggle on exam day.

Scaled scoring
The PT0-002 uses scaled scoring — your raw percentage correct is converted to a score out of 1000. Consistently scoring above 80% on mock exams puts you well above the 750/1000 threshold, giving you a buffer for any unexpected question types on the real exam.
Yes. Courseiva provides free PT0-002 mock exam questions across all official exam domains. The platform includes timed simulation, per-domain score breakdown, missed-question review, and readiness tracking. No account required — free forever, supported by advertising.
The practice test is optimised for learning: you see explanations after each question immediately. The mock exam is optimised for simulation: you answer all questions under time pressure and review at the end. Use practice tests for studying and mock exams for benchmarking.
Aim for consistent scores of 80% or above on full-length PT0-002 mock exams before booking your test date. The official passing score of 750/1000 corresponds to roughly 72–75% correct answers, so an 80% buffer accounts for difficulty variation and question styles on the real exam.
Most candidates who pass PT0-002 on their first attempt complete 3–5 full-length mock exams in the two weeks before their test. This is enough to identify final weak spots, build stamina, and verify readiness without over-stressing or running out of fresh questions.
No — all Courseiva questions are original, written by certified engineers against public CompTIA exam blueprints. Exam dumps are memorised real exam questions shared illegally. Using dumps violates your CompTIA certification agreement and can result in your certification being revoked. Our questions make you genuinely competent, not just test-day lucky.
