What is a passing score for the A+ exams
I will be taking the exam at the end of the month and was wondering what a passing score is. I know the exams are 100 questions but was is the exact number correct in order to pass them?

From what i recall,
601 Essentials minimum passing score on a scale of 100-900 is 675
602, 603, 604 require a 700 to pass.
Hope this helps -
stangman Member Posts: 53 ■■□□□□□□□□Thanks, I forgot to include the 601 Essentials and 602 IT Technician. So basically scoring over 700 (70 out of 100 ) on each exam is a passing score. I looked through the exam objectives and could not find the information, so thanks again.

You need 675 out of 900 (75%) for 601 A+ Essentials
You need 700 out of 900 (78%) for 602, 603 or 604 for A+ ITT, A+ RT or A+ DT
And some questions are not scored so youll need to answer more than 75 or 78 questions out of the 100 questions correctly to pass. -

Have you passed the current A+? I have to pass it for work. I had the core passed on the older version that expired in june last year. but the os i failed at. so i still have to pass it. Is the 601, 602, 603, and 604 part of the A+ now? it is sort of confusing to me.

@dockrol1 - you have to pass 601 and either 602, 603 or 604 to be A+ -

thank you for the info... according to JOe it sounds like i only need to pass 2 not all of them? when you go to take the test do you have a choice to take only 2 of them or is it all of them and then what ever 2 you passed you get your cert? -
hetty Member Posts: 394I wouldnt worry about it, just use the ones that are here. If anything I think the A+ has got a little bit easier than the old version. The TechNotes arent going to be your only study resource for it, is it?

Oh no... i have the current A+ book as well. i also have a computer here at work that i have been tearing apart and looking at. my job changed to this about 4 years ago.... so this has not been what i have done. so the acronyms are hard for me and i worked with macs at work. i do have a pc at home but i clearly was not constantly fixing it. so this is just a little bit hard for a 50+ person whose not used to doing this. i will pass it just is going to take me a little longer than the younger set who has been working with all this their whole life.
