NO SIGN-UP REQUIRED
What is the format? These ten original multiple-choice questions introduce CompTIA A+ Practice — 220-1201 Core 1 and 220-1202 Core 2 study topics. They are practice material, not actual exam items. Official assessments may use different formats; check the current candidate guide for your credential.
What does this prepare me for? A+ V15 Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202) multiple-choice practice. No PBQ simulation or verified exhaustive objective coverage.
What should I study? Start with core 1: mobile devices, core 1: networking, core 1: hardware. This bank uses CompTIA A+ 220-1201 / 220-1202 objectives; not an official scaled-score simulation. Check the current exam objectives, adopted editions, and permitted references before planning your study.
How should I practice? Choose an answer before opening the explanation. Read the cited reference and revisit unfamiliar topics. These samples are general preparation, not jurisdiction-specific advice.

1 / Core 1: Mobile devices
SO-DIMM
SO-DIMMs are shorter memory modules designed for compact systems. Some laptops instead have soldered memory, so verify the service manual before purchasing an upgrade.
A+ 220-1201 Obj 1.0 (Mobile devices)
2 / Core 1: Networking
443
HTTPS commonly uses TCP 443 for HTTP protected by TLS. HTTP without TLS commonly uses TCP 80; HTTP/3 uses QUIC over UDP rather than TCP.
A+ 220-1201 Obj 2.0 (Networking)
3 / Core 1: Networking
Tone generator and probe
A tone generator places a traceable signal on a suitable cable, and the probe identifies it. Follow tool guidance about energized circuits and connected network equipment.
A+ 220-1201 Obj 2.0 (Networking)
4 / Core 1: Hardware
Use a supported DDR4 module; DDR5 is not interchangeable
DDR4 and DDR5 desktop DIMMs both have 288 pins but differ in keying and electrical design. The motherboard and CPU determine supported memory generations and configurations.
A+ 220-1201 Obj 3.0 (Hardware)
5 / Core 1: Hardware
Cat 6A
Cat 6A is specified for 10GBASE-T over a 100-meter channel under the standard installation requirements. Lower categories do not provide the same guaranteed reach at 10 Gb/s.
A+ 220-1201 Obj 3.0 (Hardware)
6 / Core 1: Hardware and network troubleshooting
IPv4 link-local address
169.254.0.0/16 is IPv4 link-local space. It can enable limited local communication but does not supply the normal gateway configuration obtained through DHCP.
A+ 220-1201 Obj 5.0 (Hardware and network troubleshooting)
7 / Core 1: Hardware and network troubleshooting
Clean the system safely and restore unobstructed airflow
Blocked airflow can cause overheating and instability. Power down and follow safe cleaning instructions; defeating thermal protection risks component damage.
A+ 220-1201 Obj 5.0 (Hardware and network troubleshooting)
8 / Core 2: Operating systems
Device Manager
Device Manager exposes device status and driver management options. Roll Back Driver depends on a prior driver being available, so it is not guaranteed to be enabled.
A+ 220-1202 Obj 1.0 (Operating systems)
9 / Core 2: Security
Phishing
Phishing uses deceptive messages or sites to obtain sensitive information or trigger unsafe actions. Verify requests through a trusted channel instead of using the supplied login link.
A+ 220-1202 Obj 2.0 (Security)
10 / Core 2: Software troubleshooting
Task Manager
Task Manager can inspect and end an unresponsive application. Ending a process can discard unsaved work, so allow safe recovery or saving when possible.
A+ 220-1202 Obj 3.0 (Software troubleshooting)
