220-1102 Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates
Which certification does the 220-1102 exam lead to?
The 220-1102 exam is the official CompTIA exam behind the A+ certification, validating the skills measured by the CompTIA A+ Certification Exam: Core 2 credential. It sits at the Junior 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 220-1102 exam, and how much time do I get?
The 220-1102 exam contains 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 220-1102 exam, and what does it cost?
The passing score for the 220-1102 exam is 700 (on a scale of 100-900), and the official registration fee is USD 253. Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 845 practice questions on Getcertkey, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.
Are there any prerequisites for the 220-1102 exam?
No prerequisites, but 9 to 12 months of hands-on experience in the lab or field recommended. Requirements can change when CompTIA revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
Can I try the 220-1102 practice questions before I buy?
Yes. Getcertkey provides a free 220-1102 PDF demo so you can review the question style and answer quality before purchasing.
