CompTIA A+ Essentials 220-601 Exam: 220-601 Exam Premium File as PDF & Test Engine

The 220-601 exam, officially titled CompTIA A+ Essentials 220-601 Exam, is the qualifying test for the CompTIA A+ certification from CompTIA, a credential at the Entry / Associate level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as CompTIA A+ 220-602, CompTIA A+ 220-603, CompTIA A+ 220-604.

The CompTIA A+ Essentials 220-601 exam gives you 90 minutes to work through 100 questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the Fast2test test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need 675 (scale 100–900) to pass, and the official registration fee is $168–$189 USD. Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the Fast2test practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.

No formal prerequisites; 9–12 months of hands-on IT experience recommended Eligibility rules can change over time, so before you register, confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page: CompTIA 220-601 exam overview.
