CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202): the practice module
Exam body: CompTIA. Verified for CompTIA A+ Certification Exam Objectives, Core 2 (220-1202) V15 (Document Version 4.0) on October 19, 2026.
What it covers
Covers: single-answer and multiple-answer multiple-choice questions written to this exam’s outline, format and timing.
Does not cover: performance-based, drag-and-drop. DoMcq is multiple-choice only; the real exam’s other item types are out of scope.
Question format
- Every question has exactly 4 options.
- One or more correct answers per question (multiple-answer stems say how many to choose, and are scored all-or-nothing unless the module says otherwise).
- Not allowed as an option: “all of the above”, “none of the above”.
- Stems follow the exam’s conventions, such as “Which of the following actions should a technician take to fix the issue?”, “Which of the following should the team check first?”, “Which of the following describes this attack?”, “Which of the following is the best approach in this scenario?”.
Exam mode
The real exam is 90 questions in 90 minutes. Exam mode keeps that pace for any number of questions.
