Episode 3: Understanding the A Plus Core 1 and Core 2 Exam Structure

from Certified - The CompTIA A+ Audio Course Hosted by Dr. Jason Edwards

Understanding how the A Plus certification is split into two exams—Core 1 and Core 2—is critical to passing on the first try. This episode walks you through the structural format of each exam, including the number of questions, time limits, and passing scores. You’ll also learn about the mix of question types you'll face, from multiple-choice to performance-based scenarios that simulate real-world troubleshooting. We explain how CompTIA organizes the domains for each exam and how each domain contributes to the total score. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a practical sense of what to expect on exam day, including how to approach different question formats and manage your time effectively across both tests.
