01
Core 1: 220-1201
Practice mobile devices, networking, hardware, virtualization and cloud concepts, plus hardware and network troubleshooting.
Explore Core 1 →CompTIA A+ 220-1201 + 220-1202
CompTIA A+ practice exams for Core 1 and Core 2.
Prepare for both current CompTIA A+ exams with realistic practice sessions, performance-based questions, detailed answer explanations, and objective-level feedback built to show what you actually know before exam day.
Two exams, one certification path
Practice the A+ skills each exam actually emphasizes.
Core 1 and Core 2 overlap in real-world troubleshooting mindset, but they test different technical domains. CoreReady keeps the two banks separate so your practice results point to the exam you are actually preparing to take.
02
Core 2: 220-1202
Practice operating systems, security, software troubleshooting, and operational procedures through technical and scenario-driven questions.
Explore Core 2 →PBQ
Performance-based practice
Work through interactive scenarios that require you to apply a process, choose a configuration, or solve a technical task instead of recognizing one correct sentence.
How CoreReady practices A+
Built around understanding, not memorizing a question dump.
Objective-aware weighting
Generated exams follow the published certification objective structure so a practice attempt behaves more like a complete exam and less like a random pile of questions.
Concept variety
Question history, concept families, and variants are used to reduce near-identical repetition and force you to recognize the underlying skill from more than one angle.
Explanations that teach
Review the reasoning behind the correct answer and use missed questions as a map for the next topic you need to study.
Guided Practice mode
Get feedback while you are still learning. Use this mode to understand why an answer works before switching to a more exam-like attempt.
Exam mode
Test yourself without immediate teaching prompts when you want a cleaner measurement of recall, reasoning, pacing, and PBQ comfort.
Objective-level results
Look past a single overall score and identify the domains and concepts that are still creating avoidable misses.
A+ PBQ practice
PBQs should test a workflow, not just another multiple-choice fact.
CoreReady includes scenario-driven performance tasks alongside traditional questions. The goal is to practice making technical decisions when the answer is not presented as four neat sentences. That can include interpreting a situation, applying troubleshooting order, matching components or settings, and making configuration choices.
PBQ performance is also useful as a readiness signal. A learner who can explain the concepts but freezes when asked to apply them still has a different study need than someone who simply missed a definition.
Exam readiness
Use more than one practice score to decide if you are ready.
A strong readiness check looks for consistency. You want solid performance across multiple attempts, no major objective domain that repeatedly collapses, comfort with PBQ-style tasks, and enough understanding to explain why the tempting wrong answers are wrong.
- Take a realistic attempt without immediate feedback.
- Review weak objectives instead of immediately retaking the same questions.
- Use Guided Practice when a concept still needs teaching.
- Return to exam mode and look for improvement across a fresh generated form.
- Judge consistency across domains, not just one lucky total score.
