Recommended: CompTIA Network+ and 2 years of experience in IT administration with a security focus. Not required but highly recommended. These requirements belong to CompTIA and may be revised, so check the current rules on the official exam page: https://www.comptia.org/certifications/security#examdetails before committing to a CompTIA Security+ Certification registration.

The CompTIA Security+ Certification exam contains Maximum 90 questions within 90 minutes. Knowing the content matters, but the clock decides who finishes — practice committing and moving on. Full-length timed sessions in the ActualVCE test engine are the most direct way to rehearse that discipline before the real SY0-701 exam.

CompTIA spreads the CompTIA Security+ Certification syllabus over 5 areas, with Operations & Incident Response (16%), Threats, Attacks & Vulnerabilities (24%), Architecture & Design (21%) carrying the most weight. Study proportionally to those shares — the complete outline is in the section above this page.

The SY0-701 exam is CompTIA's official certification test — pass it and the CompTIA Security+ certificate is yours, a credential at the Entry-Level level. It exists to measure practical IT skills objectively, which is why hiring managers treat it as a reliable benchmark — and why candidate numbers keep rising. It also relates to CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA CySA+, CompTIA CASP+, so the value compounds as you progress.

One CompTIA Security+ Certification attempt costs $370 USD, with 750 (scale of 100-900) required to pass. Retakes charge the full fee again, so passing on your own terms means walking in overprepared. Use ActualVCE practice questions until timed mock scores clear 750 (scale of 100-900) comfortably, then book the SY0-701 exam.
