CompTIA splits A+ certification into two exams: CompTIA A+ 220-1001 and CompTIA A+ 220-1002. It's common to refer to these two exams as the "2019" exams, but CompTIA is also now referring to them as Core 1 and Core 2. The 220-1001 exam concentrates on understanding terminology and technology, how to do fundamental tasks such as upgrading RAM, and basic network and mobile device support. The 220-1002 exam builds on the first exam, concentrating on operating system support, advanced configuration and troubleshooting scenarios.
The book CompTIA A+ Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, Tenth Edition, written by Mike Myers and published by McGraw-Hill Education, provides a guide to the topics covered by both A+ certification exams, along with possible exam questions to test your knowledge. The 25 questions below provide just a sampling to help you gauge your readiness and identify areas of study.
