Before you start
A few useful
answers.
Know what you’re getting and how to use it.
Do I need to pass both Core 1 and Core 2?
Yes. A+ requires two exams from the same version. This page covers V15: Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202). Plan a study routine for each exam.
What does training access include?
The Trifectapp training bundle includes A+, Network+ and Security+ practice exams, performance analytics, performance-based questions, hands-on labs and all four PDF exam study guides. One payment gives you lifetime access. Check the checkout for the current price and terms before purchasing.
Are the study guides included in the training price?
Yes. Your lifetime access includes all four PDF exam study guides: A+ Core 1, A+ Core 2, Network+ and Security+. No additional purchase or charge is required.
Will my practice score guarantee an exam pass?
No. Analytics help you spot gaps and follow your progress. Use your topic results, understanding of explanations and practical work together when deciding what to study next. A practice percentage is not a CompTIA scaled exam score or a guarantee of passing.
Does this include a CompTIA exam voucher?
No. Trifectapp provides preparation resources. Book and pay for the certification exam separately through CompTIA or its authorized testing provider.
Are the activities on this page the full training platform?
These short activities are interactive samples. The analytics use illustrative data and the lab output is simulated. Your purchased training and student account are accessed through Trifectapp.
