Official Core 2 V15 objectives

CompTIA is global; 'national' here means a non-state-specific US product category, not a restriction on worldwide availability.

Current public pages supply both domain distributions. Catalog's combined topic weights are not either official exam blueprint.

Conservative current-bank classification: general practice targeting A+ V15. Upgrade to exam-specific only after separate Core 1/Core 2 objective and item-format coverage audits; this research did not audit the full bank.

No combined single-exam question count/time: each of two exams has its own maximum 90 questions and 90-minute limit.

March 25, 2025 launch and exam-detail tables verified in rendered official pages after web_fetch omitted those tables.

220-1101/1102 retirement dates (including language-specific dates) are not verified. V14 URLs redirect to V15; old articles still discuss V14 and cannot establish current retirement dates.

Current numeric voucher price not verified: cost article refers to a missing table and rendered page also lacks a price.

Lower score-scale bound 100 not verified; do not publish 100–900 as fully verified on this evidence.

Preparing, qualifying, passing, receiving

1. Preparing: CodeReady provides independent study materials.
2. Qualifying: Meet the issuer’s eligibility, application, experience, and training requirements separately.
3. Passing: Complete the required official assessments; a practice percentage is not an official result. OSHA Outreach requires authorized training, not a CodeReady test.
4. Receiving: Only the responsible issuer can award the credential or card after its requirements are met. Buying or completing this bank does not confer one.

What you get / what you don’t

What you get: Access to this practice bank, cited explanations, flashcards, browser-local progress, and practice tests. Tests use eligible reviewed items only; test sizes can be smaller than the bank.

What you don’t: A license, certification, OSHA card, exam voucher, authorized training hours, practical assessment, hands-on lab, or official performance-based question simulation. No guaranteed exam result or claim of exhaustive objective coverage.

$39 buys this bank for the operating life of CodeReady. All-access is $79 lifetime or $19/month while subscribed.

Retake-access extension: monthly subscribers may request one free month of continued access after a documented exam attempt within 60 days. Single-bank and lifetime buyers already retain access; this is not an added benefit for them. Terms.
