Common questions
Is the practice exam really free?
Yes — the full timed simulator is free on every cert, with no account and no card. Each attempt is generated fresh, drawing questions across the official domains in their published weighting, and you get a scaled score plus a full review of every answer.
Do I need to buy A+ Core 2 separately?
No. A+ Core 1 and A+ Core 2 are separate trainers because they're separate exams, but they share one $24.99 unlock — buying either one opens both, all 63 modules and 3,150 questions.
What does premium actually unlock?
The first 2 objective modules of A+ Core 1 are free. Premium unlocks the remaining ones — all 27 modules, 1,350 questions, plus the same for A+ Core 2 — along with weak-area drilling and progress sync.
Is this a subscription?
No. Premium is a single one-time payment of $24.99. Access includes the purchased certification trainer and future updates for that certification while CertTrainer operates and supports the trainer.
Do the questions match the current A+ Core 1 exam?
Yes — every question is written against the current 220-1201 objectives, and practice exams draw from them using CompTIA's official domain weightings.
Do I need an account?
Not to practice. The free modules and the exam simulator work signed out. An account is only needed to purchase premium and to sync your progress between devices.
What if I have a problem with my purchase?
Email support and we'll sort it out. Billing issues are handled case by case — see the Terms of Service for the details.
