CompTIA A+ (220-1201/1202) PBQ Practice: Scenario Exams

Performance-based questions decide who passes the A+ exams. They appear first, they carry the most weight, and they are where unprepared candidates lose their time and their confidence. This course trains exactly that skill — for BOTH exams.

What you get in this course

• 4 full PBQ simulation exams — 256 scenario-based tasks in 49 linked real-world scenarios, covering the complete certification: Core 1 (220-1201): 156 questions in 26 scenarios and Core 2 (220-1202): 100 questions in 23 scenarios.

• You work situations, not trivia — from first symptom to closed ticket: a SOHO network rescue, a conference-room AV build, a malware outbreak walked through the complete official removal process, a ransomware recovery, a hijacked router, a permissions audit, a command-line diagnostics session, a Windows 11 migration, and dozens more.

• Real exhibits, like the real exam. About 30% of tasks require reading evidence: command output, permission matrices, router configuration pages, wireless site surveys, email headers, Event Viewer logs, backup reports, and hardware/network diagrams — the same read-the-screen skill the live PBQs demand.

• Every one of the 256 questions is fully explained — the correct answer AND every incorrect option. You learn why the right choice is right, why each wrong choice fails (and why it looks tempting), so you never repeat a mistake without understanding it.

• An exam tip on every question teaching you what to watch for in these kinds of scenarios — the trigger words, the classic traps, and the rule of thumb to apply the moment you recognize the situation on exam day. Each explanation is referenced to the official V15 exam objectives.

A note on format: official PBQs run in CompTIA's interactive engine — drag-and-drop steps, clickable screens — which Udemy tests cannot reproduce. This course trains what that engine actually measures: the same concepts, sequences, and decisions, rebuilt as scenario tasks — orderings ("what is the NEXT step?"), exhibit readings, exact command-and-switch selections, and multi-select configurations. The interaction differs; the knowledge and judgment tested are the same. The reasoning, not the mouse movement, is what earns the points.

What you will be able to do after this course

Recognize every PBQ topic on sight, order the official processes without hesitation, read exhibits for the detail that matters, and manage the PBQ section so it earns you points instead of stealing your minutes — on both Core 1 and Core 2.
