You have to pass both cores to get the certification, and many people take them weeks apart. Each core keeps its own progress, and one APlus Mastery plan opens both. Core 2 has more objectives, 36 compared to Core 1's 27. A bar at the top of the course switches between the two.
27 objectives, 648 practice questions, 72 of them free in Domain 1.
Every Core 1 objective36 objectives, 864 practice questions, 264 of them free in Domain 1.
Every Core 2 objectiveIt's the same loop SecPlus Mastery uses for Security+, built on the A+ objectives.
Each objective is one lesson, written against CompTIA's wording, with examples and practice questions.
You can only move to the next one after passing its quiz, so a finished domain means you can answer it, not that you just scrolled past it.
Questions you've mastered come back just before you'd forget them, and a few minutes a day keeps the early domains fresh.
A timed 90-question sitting per core, weighted like the real one and scored on the 100 to 900 scale, so you know when to book.
A command prompt to work in, support tickets to troubleshoot and boards to fill. The ones in Domain 1 of each core are free, and a paid plan opens all of them.
8 labs
A simulated Windows command prompt or Linux shell with one problem to solve in it, such as a front desk PC stuck on an APIPA address. Run the commands, read what comes back and answer from the output.
14 scenarios
A support ticket that plays out one decision at a time, like a laptop that shuts itself off with charge still on the meter. Each choice is marked a strong call, workable or a risky call.
14 boards
Drag-and-drop boards like the exam's PBQs. Devices, cables, connection types and file systems go where they belong, and the tray always holds more than the board needs.
Drill rounds are short and ask both ways, and what you miss comes back sooner. All 9 are free on every plan.
Ten quick questions on the ports in objective 2.1, asked both ways: which port SSH uses, or which protocol sits on 3389. No account needed.
A free account adds a full practice exam for each core. Everything else here works without signing up.
A full 90-question exam for each core, scored from 100 to 900. Free with an account.
What performance-based questions look like, with two real ones to try.
Every port on the Core 1 list, with a quiz.
Both cores, week by week, at one or two objectives a day.
Ten questions across both cores, with the answers explained.
Exam format, domain weights, ports and RAID on one page.
Nothing renews and nothing needs cancelling. It is sold on its own, so a SecPlus Mastery plan does not include it, but the same account signs in to both.
Both plans come with the 14-day money-back guarantee.
SecPlus Mastery teaches CompTIA Security+ the same way this course teaches A+, and its Domain 1 is free. It is sold separately, and one account signs in to both.
Mobile Devices on Core 1 and Operating Systems on Core 2 are open the moment you sign up.
