CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) Exam Prep — Study Plan, Practice Tests & Online Exam Simulator
Prepare for CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201), the hardware-and-networking half of the A+ certification. This package covers the V15 objectives with domain-aligned practice and a realistic exam simulation, so you walk into Core 1 knowing the format cold.
Exam snapshot: up to 90 questions, 90 minutes, passing score 675 on a 100–900 scale.
This is a focused preparation and review package — a study plan, practice questions, concise review notes, and an exam simulator. It is not a full training course or textbook; it is designed to sharpen what you know and get you exam-ready.
What's included
- Study Plan — a flexible 4-, 8-, or 12-week schedule that maps your revision across every 220-1201 exam domain.
-
Domain-Based Practice Tests — question sets organized by exam domain so you can drill each area and pinpoint your weak spots:
- Mobile Devices (13%)
- Networking (23%)
- Hardware (25%)
- Virtualization and Cloud Computing (11%)
- Hardware and Network Troubleshooting (28%)
- Exam Review Notes (PDF download) — a concise, module-by-module summary of the key concepts and terms you need on exam day. Review notes, not a full course.
-
Online Exam Simulator on academy.certinstructor.org, with two modes:
- Practice Mode — work at your own pace and choose whether to reveal answers and explanations as you go.
- Exam Mode — the same number of questions and time limit as the real exam (up to 90 questions, 90 minutes), for a realistic exam-day experience.
- Answer Explanations — every question includes a clear explanation of the correct answer.
Who it's for: Aspiring IT support and help-desk technicians taking the first of the two A+ exams. Remember: A+ requires passing both Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202).
