RF0-001 Exam FAQs for 2026 Candidates

Which certification does the RF0-001 exam lead to?

The RF0-001 exam is the official CompTIA exam behind the RFID+ certification, validating the skills measured by the CompTIA RFID+ Certification credential. It sits at the Professional level of the CompTIA certification program. It also connects to CompTIA RFID+, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

How many questions are on the RF0-001 exam, and how much time do I get?

The RF0-001 exam contains 81 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.
