CompTIA A+ Certification Exam: Core 1 Exam FAQ: What Candidates Ask Most
What is the CompTIA 220-1101 exam?
The 220-1101 exam is the official CompTIA exam behind the A+ certification, validating the skills measured by the CompTIA A+ Certification Exam: Core 1 credential. It sits at the Entry-Level level of the CompTIA certification program. It also connects to CompTIA A+, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.
How many questions are on the 220-1101 exam, and how much time do I get?
The 220-1101 exam contains Maximum 90 questions to be completed within 90 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Getcertkey test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.
What score do I need to pass the 220-1101 exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the 220-1101 exam is 675 (on a scale of 100-900), and the official registration fee is $253 USD. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book.
