Questions before you start
Are these real exam questions?
No, and they should not be. Every question is original, written for CertPine and mapped to a SY0-701 objective, so you practice the skill the exam tests and not a memorized answer.
Do I need an account to start?
No. The first 25 questions work without one. A free account opens 25 more and saves your progress.
What do I see after I answer?
Whether you were right, and an explanation for every option: why the correct one is correct and why each of the others is not.
Are performance-based questions included?
Yes. 7 of the 9 formats are performance-based, such as building a firewall rule chain, reading a log excerpt or placing items on a diagram.
What is full access, and when can I get it?
Full access is the whole question pool plus a timed practice exam of 90 questions in 90 minutes. It is not on sale yet, and a pass guarantee is coming with it. The waitlist is the way to hear when it opens.
Is CertPine connected to CompTIA?
No. CertPine is an independent study tool. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by CompTIA.
