Try a CompTIA A+-style question

PrepNovat practice – not an official CompTIA exam item. Same rationale style as the Exam bank.

Core 1 | Hardware / troubleshooting
A desktop powers on but shows no display. The monitor’s power light is on. Which step is the best next action?
A) Reinstall the operating system immediately.
B) Confirm the video cable is seated and try a known-good cable or port.
C) Replace the CMOS battery first.
D) Format the system drive.
Answer: B.
No-display with a powered monitor often starts with cable/port verification before invasive fixes. A and D jump to OS/storage without confirming video path. C addresses clock/settings issues, not a blank display first.

Built for CompTIA A+ candidates

CompTIA A+ is an entry-level IT certification with two exams: Core 1 and Core 2. PrepNovat helps you practice with clear rationales – so you know why an answer is right before test day.

This hub’s free quiz and Exam bank are A+-focused (not a multi-cert dump). Start free, then unlock the 1,200+ bank when you need volume.

What is CompTIA A+?

CompTIA A+ validates foundational IT skills across hardware, networking, mobile devices, operating systems, security, and troubleshooting. Official exams are Core 1 (e.g. 220-1101) and Core 2 (e.g. 220-1102). PrepNovat is independent practice – not affiliated with CompTIA.

What’s on CompTIA A+?

Exam Typical focus
Core 1 Mobile devices, networking, hardware, virtualization & cloud
Core 2 Operating systems, security, software troubleshooting, procedures

Passing scores, question counts, and timing are set by CompTIA – verify on comptia.org before you register. (Often cited: Core 1 ~ 675/900 | Core 2 ~ 700/900 | up to 90 questions | 90 minutes.)

Domain tips

Hardware & troubleshooting

Start with the simplest layer (power, cables, known-good parts) before replacing boards or reinstalling the OS.

Networking

Know common ports, IP basics, and how to isolate wired vs wireless faults.

OS & security

Practice both Windows and mobile OS workflows; map symptoms to least-privilege fixes.

How to use the free questions

Answer the sample above (and the 20-question free A+ quiz) under light timing pressure. Read every rationale – including items you got right. The free layer is an A+ teaser for format and feedback style, not a full Core 1 or Core 2 mock.

Frequently asked questions

How long should I study for CompTIA A+?

Many first-time candidates do well with 4-8 focused weeks per exam, depending on hands-on experience. Start with a short diagnostic, then spend most time on weak domains.

Do I need both Core 1 and Core 2?

Yes – CompTIA A+ certification requires passing both Core exams. PrepNovat’s bank covers A+-style content across both; confirm official objectives on comptia.org.

What’s free vs paid on PrepNovat?

Free = 20 CompTIA A+ teaser questions (/quiz/comptia-a-plus-free/). Paid = the full 1,200+ A+ Exam bank at $49 / $129 / $199 depending on access length. Free is not the full bank.

What score do I need to pass?

CompTIA sets passing scores (commonly cited: Core 1 675/900, Core 2 700/900). Confirm current cut scores and exam codes on comptia.org when you register.

Is this only A+, or other CompTIA certs too?

This hub’s free quiz, checkout (course_id=16), and Exam Page bridge are CompTIA A+. Other CompTIA certifications are separate products if/when live.

Is PrepNovat affiliated with CompTIA?

No. PrepNovat offers independent third-party practice. Official CompTIA registration and materials are provided by CompTIA. See comptia.org.
