In short: to build CompTIA A+ practice questions, upload your study notes, a course PDF or your own summaries, and the AI writes A+ style multiple choice questions with an answer key and explanations in seconds. The certification is two exams, Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202), each up to 90 questions in 90 minutes, and you have to pass both, so you can generate full mocks from your own material and drill hardware and networking one day, security and operating systems the next, right up to test day.

What a CompTIA A+ practice question generator does

Drill your own course notes, not a bank you have memorized

CompTIA A+ rewards knowing how the pieces of a system work rather than rote recall, and by your second pass through a free question dump you start remembering the answer letter instead of reasoning through the objective. You read a question on telling apart networking ports, which Windows command fits a task, or which security best practice applies to a scenario, and you recall the option, not the logic. This tool flips the source. You upload what you are actually studying, your accredited course book, a study guide PDF or your own summaries, and the AI exam question generator writes brand-new items from that text. Weak answers point straight back at the objective you need to review, and a fresh practice set is always one upload away.

Works with any course material and your notes

Upload your accredited course book, a study guide, the exam objectives, a glossary of A+ terms or handwritten pages you photographed. If the file explains a hardware, networking, security or operating system concept, the generator can build questions on it.

Domain drills

Shaky on networking one week and operating systems the next? Upload only the notes for the domain you are covering, then narrow to a single topic, like ports or Windows tools, when your scores are soft.

Fresh mocks every session

Generate a new set every time so you are testing knowledge, not recognition. Repeated retrieval on unseen items is what makes the facts and procedures hold up under the 90-second pace of the real exam.

CompTIA A+ domains and how to practice each one

A+ is two exams. The domains and their weights are below. Upload the notes for whichever domain you are covering and generate questions on it.

Exam Domain Weight
Core 1 (220-1201) Hardware and Network Troubleshooting 28%
Core 1 (220-1201) Hardware 25%
Core 1 (220-1201) Networking 23%
Core 1 (220-1201) Mobile Devices 13%
Core 1 (220-1201) Virtualization and Cloud Computing 11%
Core 2 (220-1202) Operating Systems 28%
Core 2 (220-1202) Security 28%
Core 2 (220-1202) Software Troubleshooting 23%
Core 2 (220-1202) Operational Procedures 21%

Troubleshooting is the heaviest area on Core 1 at 28 percent, while operating systems and security tie for the top of Core 2 at 28 percent each. The performance-based questions ask you to complete a task in a simulated environment, so pair hands-on practice with question drills built from your own notes across every domain.

Simple process

How to make CompTIA A+ practice questions in 4 steps

1
Upload your material
Drop in your course book, the exam objectives, a study guide PDF or your own notes. Scanned and handwritten pages are read with OCR.
2
Set the drill
Pick the question count and difficulty. Run a 20 question warm-up on a lunch break or a full 90-question mock under the 90-minute limit.
3
AI writes questions
The AI reads your content and writes exam-style multiple choice questions with an answer key and explanations.
4
Review and repeat
Score the set, review the objective behind every miss, then generate a fresh drill on just those weak domains and go again.

Who uses this to prep for CompTIA A+

Career changers breaking into IT

You are fitting A+ prep around a full-time job, so you need practice you can do in short windows. Upload one domain at a time and generate a quick set you can finish on a break, then hit the same weak domain tomorrow with different questions. A+ is often the first credential on the way into a help-desk or support role, so building recall now pays off in the interview too.

Bootcamp and self-study candidates

If you have already worked through the sample questions in your course once, you are drilling your memory of them, not the material. Turn your course book and notes into questions you have never seen, without buying a second exam simulator just to get fresh items. Generate a mock the night before class and walk in knowing exactly which objectives are still soft.

Retakers targeting one weak domain

When you came up short on troubleshooting or security last time, you do not need to redo everything. Upload just those notes, drill until the misses stop, and turn the domain that was dragging your score below the pass mark into one you can answer on reflex. Then generate a full mock to confirm the fix held before you rebook.

CompTIA A+ practice questions, answered

How do I make CompTIA A+ practice questions from my notes?
Upload your CompTIA A+ study notes, a course PDF or your own summaries, choose how many questions you want, and the AI writes A+ style multiple choice questions with an answer key and explanations in seconds. Every question comes from the material you uploaded, so a miss points straight back at the objective you need to review, whether that is a networking port, a Windows command or a security best practice, and you can regenerate a fresh set the next day. If your notes are on paper, run them through an OCR tool like DocuOCR first so the text is selectable.
How many questions are on the CompTIA A+ exam?
CompTIA A+ is two exams, Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202), and each one has a maximum of 90 questions. The questions are a mix of multiple choice and performance-based items that ask you to complete a task in a simulated environment. You get 90 minutes per exam, so sitting a full 90-question mock built from your own notes is a good way to rehearse both the length and the pace.
What is the passing score for CompTIA A+?
You need 675 out of 900 to pass Core 1 (220-1201) and 700 out of 900 to pass Core 2 (220-1202). The scale runs from 100 to 900, and there is no partial credit carried between the two exams, so you have to clear each one on its own. Because the passing bar is roughly three quarters of the marks, most candidates aim to score comfortably above it on practice mocks before booking.
Do I have to pass both A+ exams?
Yes. To earn the CompTIA A+ certification you must pass both Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202). You can sit them on separate days and in either order, but the credential is only awarded once both are complete. Many candidates study and test for Core 1 first, then move to Core 2, generating a fresh set of practice questions for whichever exam they are focused on that week.
What topics are on the CompTIA A+ exam?
Core 1 (220-1201) covers mobile devices, networking, hardware, virtualization and cloud computing, and hardware and network troubleshooting. Core 2 (220-1202) covers operating systems, security, software troubleshooting and operational procedures. Troubleshooting is the single heaviest area on Core 1 at 28 percent, and operating systems and security tie for the top of Core 2 at 28 percent each, so those are worth the most drilling.
Is this an official CompTIA practice test?
No. PDFQuiz is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by CompTIA. CompTIA A+ is a trademark of CompTIA. This tool generates practice questions from the study material you upload so you can rehearse recall and reasoning between full mock exams, and it does not reproduce official CompTIA exam questions or the performance-based simulations, so use it alongside your course and the official exam objectives, not as a replacement for them.
Can I make a full CompTIA A+ mock exam from a PDF?
Yes. Upload your full set of course notes or a study guide PDF, set the question count to 90, and the generator builds a mock you can sit under the 90-minute time limit. Because the questions come from your own material, you can weight the set toward the objectives you find hardest, such as networking ports or Windows tools, then generate a new mock the next day so you are testing knowledge rather than memorizing a bank you have already seen.
