Written to the current objectives

Every practice set stays inside the current SY0-701 objectives. Security Operations carries the most weight at 28%, followed by Threats, Vulnerabilities, and Mitigations at 22%.

The questions are original and focus on the multiple-choice side of Security+. The live exam also includes performance-based questions, so hands-on simulation practice belongs in your lab work.

CompTIA reports the real exam on a 100–900 scaled score and requires 750 to pass. These tests use a modeled practice score on the same range, with 750 as the benchmark. That keeps the result familiar without claiming to reproduce CompTIA's undisclosed scoring formula.

Inside a test

Ninety questions under the full 90-minute clock

A short quiz can expose a knowledge gap. A full-length test shows whether you can keep moving when the clock is running and several answers look plausible.

How it is built

  • 90 questions in 90 minutes
  • Five domains at 12 / 22 / 18 / 28 / 20
  • Single-answer and choose-TWO questions
  • Choose-TWO scored all-or-nothing
  • Same blueprint from one set to the next

Under the clock

  • Countdown with automatic submission at zero
  • Flag questions and return to them
  • Skip, revisit and change answers
  • Final review before submitting
  • Question order changes between attempts
  • Progress is saved if the tab closes

What comes back

  • Modeled 100–900 practice score
  • 750 used as the benchmark
  • Breakdown across all five domains
  • Full answer review with explanations
  • Downloadable PDF report
  • Result sent by email
Worked example

The wrong answer should teach you something too

The useful part is not just seeing A and B marked correct. It is understanding why C looked reasonable and still failed the requirement.

Domain 3.0 · Security ArchitectureChoose TWOAll-or-nothing

A company wants to limit the damage a compromised administrator laptop could do to its domain controllers. Credentials are currently cached on the same machines admins use for email and browsing. Which TWO controls address this most directly?

  • AIssue privileged access workstations for all administrative tasks
  • BMove to just-in-time elevation, so standing admin rights are removed
  • CEnable full-disk encryption on every administrator laptop
  • DRaise the minimum password length for administrative accounts
  • EPlace a web application firewall in front of the domain controllers

Why A and B

A privileged access workstation keeps administrative credentials off the endpoint used for email and browsing. Just-in-time elevation removes standing administrative rights, shrinking what an attacker can steal and reuse after compromising a normal workstation.

Why C looks plausible

Full-disk encryption protects data at rest if a device is lost or stolen. It does not solve an active compromise after the laptop is already running and the attacker has access to the session.

D makes password cracking harder but does not separate privileged credentials from the compromised workstation. E protects web applications, not domain-controller administration.

Official domain weights

Every practice test follows the SY0-701 blueprint

The table turns CompTIA's published percentages into a 90-question practice allocation. The rounded counts total 90 and keep Security Operations as the largest part of every paper.
