Performance-based questions, free
Most free sites give you multiple choice and call it a day. The A+ throws PBQs at you: drag-and-drop, config screens, command-line output you have to read. We built those, and we're not charging for them. They're the part people fail. Practice them here until they're routine.
The explanation is the point
Every question tells you why the right answer is right and why each wrong one is wrong. That's where the learning actually happens. Anyone can post an answer key. We wrote the part that makes it stick.
Written for the exam that's live now
Everything's built against the current V15 objectives (220-1201 / 220-1202), the versions you'll actually sit through ~2028. No recycled content from a retired exam. No copied objective text. Every question original.
50 free practice questions. Then keep going.

THE COMPLETE GUIDE
A+ CITY: The Common-Sense CompTIA A+ Study Guide
Both exams, one book, no padding. A+ CITY walks Core 1 and Core 2 the way this site teaches: plain language, real-world context from someone who's done the job, and two full 90-question practice exams (one per Core) with the same explained answer keys you get here. If the free practice is clicking, the book is the whole map of the city.
Written by K.D. Vaughn — Air Force veteran, federal IT manager, and holder of Security+, Network+, AWS, ITIL, and more. Real authority, not a marketing bio.
