CompTIA A+ Core 1 is CompTIA's foundational-level it operations & support certification, sat as exam 220-1201. The exam runs for 1 hour 30 minutes and presents up to 90 questions, with a pass mark of 675 / 900 (scaled). It costs US$253 at the standard rate.
The published exam guide lists 5 sections but does not assign public weightings, so plan to cover each in similar depth rather than betting on one being dominant.
A+ requires two exams. Core 1 and Core 2 must both be passed, and both must come from the same series — you cannot mix a 1101 pass with a 1202 pass.
