A+ Core 1 performance-based questions (PBQ) practice

5 questions · Untimed · Notes after each question

Five performance-based questions: match ports, connectors and RAID levels, diagnose a laser printer, check SOHO IP settings and choose network tools, with a note on every row. Each question gives you a task and a dropdown for every row; check your answers to see a note on each row.

Before you start

Multiple-choice questions have four options and one answer, or five options and two answers when the question says "Choose two." Performance-based questions give you a task with a dropdown for every row. After each answer you see why the key is right and why every other option is wrong.
Check each answer to see the notes before moving on. Checked answers cannot be changed.

We write our own practice questions to help you prepare for CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201). They are original, written to the published A+ 220-1201 exam objectives, document version 4.0, and none is a real exam question. Independent practice, not affiliated with or endorsed by CompTIA.
