CompTIA Tech+ Exam Overview

As of August 2024, CompTIA replaced ITF+ with the Tech+ certification (FC0-U71). ITF+ (FC0-U61) was retired July 31, 2025. Tech+ covers six domains across 75 questions in 60 minutes. Unlike most CompTIA certifications, Tech+ does not expire.

Citation-Ready

The CompTIA Tech+ certification exam (FC0-U71) covers six domains: IT Concepts & Terminology (26%), Infrastructure (18%), Applications & Software (14%), Software Development Concepts (10%), Database Fundamentals (13%), and Security (19%). The exam consists of up to 75 multiple-choice questions with a 60-minute time limit and a passing score of 650 out of 900. Unlike most CompTIA certifications, Tech+ does not expire.

Domain Weight Key Topics
1.0 IT Concepts & Terminology 26% Notational systems, fundamental data types, computing basics, value of data, AI and emerging tech
2.0 Infrastructure 18% Hardware components, networking concepts, storage types, computing devices
3.0 Applications & Software 14% Application management, operating system basics, software architecture
4.0 Software Development Concepts 10% Programming concepts, logic, development methodologies
5.0 Database Fundamentals 13% Database concepts, structures, interfaces, data types
6.0 Security 19% Confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, encryption, business continuity

Sample Practice Questions

These questions reflect the style, difficulty, and domain coverage of the CompTIA Tech+ exam. Wayground generates hundreds of domain-mapped questions like these automatically.

1
A company stores customer records including names, addresses, and purchase history. Which of the following BEST describes this type of data?
IT Concepts
  • A Unstructured data
  • B Structured data
  • C Semi-structured data
  • D Metadata

B is correct. Customer records with defined fields (name, address, purchase history) are organized in a predictable format — that's structured data. Unstructured data lacks a predefined model (e.g., emails, videos). Semi-structured data has some organizational properties but no rigid schema (e.g., JSON).

2
A student is building a computer and needs a component that temporarily stores data the CPU is actively using. Which component should the student install?
Infrastructure
  • A SSD
  • B HDD
  • C RAM
  • D PSU

C is correct. RAM (Random Access Memory) provides temporary, volatile storage for data the CPU is actively processing. SSDs and HDDs are persistent storage. A PSU (Power Supply Unit) provides electrical power to components.

3
An employee receives an email that appears to be from the IT department asking them to click a link and verify their password. This is an example of:
Security
  • A Ransomware
  • B A brute-force attack
  • C Phishing
  • D A man-in-the-middle attack

C is correct. Phishing uses deceptive emails appearing to come from a trusted source to trick users into revealing credentials or clicking malicious links. Ransomware encrypts files for payment. Brute-force attacks try many password combinations. Man-in-the-middle attacks intercept communications.

4
In a relational database, what is the term for a column that uniquely identifies each record in a table?
Database Fundamentals
  • A Foreign key
  • B Primary key
  • C Index
  • D Schema

B is correct. A primary key is a column (or set of columns) that uniquely identifies each row in a relational database table. A foreign key references a primary key in another table. An index improves query performance. A schema defines the overall database structure.

01

Generate Domain-Mapped Practice

Teachers select Tech+ and any of the 6 exam domains. Wayground generates a fresh practice set in 30 seconds — no manual question writing needed.

02

Students Practice (and Compete)

Gamified review sessions keep students engaged with leaderboards, streaks, and team modes. Students voluntarily practice when it feels like play.

03

Review Domain-Level Reports

Readiness reports break down student performance by each of the 6 Tech+ domains. Teachers see exactly which domains need more review before exam day.

04

Students Sit for the Official Exam

When readiness reports show students are ready, they take the official CompTIA Tech+ exam through authorized testing centers — prepared to pass on the first attempt.
