Pass the A+ — or get every dollar back. Guaranteed.

Yes. The A+ certification requires passing two exams — Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202) — and every other prep provider sells them separately, one cart per core. Here one purchase is the whole certification: both question banks, both guides, both sets of mocks, one price. There is no Core-1-only option to buy by mistake.

The full Fast Track Study System — every practice question, every flashcard deck, full-length mock exams, narrated audio, Miles the AI tutor, and the entire study guide, every chapter readable and highlightable. The cheat sheet — the highest-yield facts as a PDF — is in the study portal on every pass, with instant access to download it. Every pass opens all of it; Standard carries the Money-Back Guarantee and SurePass the SurePass Guarantee.

Standard and SurePass carry it. Score 80%+ on one full-length mock, sit the real exam, and if you don't pass we refund what you paid. On SurePass, clear two mocks with your readiness meter at "Getting close" or above and we also pay your full $274 retake fee per core. A refund also comes with free access to keep preparing — 90 more days on Standard, another year on SurePass. Starter carries no refund — don't pass, upload your score report, and we add 30 more days of access, free. Every free period is counted from the earliest date your exam allows a retake. You file the claim in your study portal with your official score report.

Whichever you like — CompTIA lets you take the two exams in any order. Most people start with Core 1 (hardware and networking) and move to Core 2 (operating systems, security and troubleshooting), but the system tracks each core separately, so studying them in either order or side by side works the same. The certification is earned when both are passed.

SurePass, for almost everyone: today it costs the same as Standard, it runs a full year, and it is the only pass that pays your retake fee if you don't pass (and adds another year free). Standard is a month of access with the Money-Back Guarantee — a refund plus 90 more days if you don't pass. Starter is one week of access with no refund — don't pass and you get 30 more days free.

CompTIA scores both cores on a scaled 100–900 range, and the two bars are different: Core 1 needs 675, Core 2 needs 700. Neither is a straight percentage of questions right, and CompTIA doesn't publish how the scale maps to raw answers. Our mocks hold you to a deliberately conservative internal bar, so being ready here means being comfortably ready there.

They're written to CompTIA's published 220-1201 and 220-1202 objectives and weighted to them exactly — all nine domains across the two cores, at CompTIA's own percentages. The Core 2 bank covers every one of the 36 objectives CompTIA publishes for it, with zero gaps. A mock is the same shape as the real thing: 90 questions in 90 minutes.

The banks are multiple-choice, which is the majority of both exams and the part you can drill. PBQs are hands-on simulations — the way to prepare for those is to know the material cold, and the guide walks through what each PBQ topic actually asks you to do.

Your progress is kept — on both cores. You can upgrade at any time and pick up exactly where you were, and upgrades always credit what you already paid.

Yes. Change the date and the plan rebuilds around your new one — each core's plan keys off its own exam date.

Yes — everything syncs across devices, and the reader, flashcards and practice all work on a phone.

Because they're real commitments — every guarantee is a refund, and on SurePass the retake-fee reimbursement — that we may genuinely pay out, so a limited number of them opens for the A+ each day. The allocation resets at midnight in your own time zone, and the counter shows how many of today's are still open.

Yes, separately from the pass guarantee: 24 hours on Starter, 48 hours on Standard, or 72 hours on SurePass, measured from your purchase (or from your upgrade, if you upgraded) — no questions asked, as long as you haven't sat your exam yet. EEA and UK buyers also keep their 14-day statutory right. The SurePass Guarantee is the other promise — that one is about your exam result, not about changing your mind.
