CompTIA A+ Certification: Core 1

Updated 12-Apr-2026

Page 2 of 47 220-1201 PDF — 519 Questions

A technician observes slow startup times on a laptop.
Which of the following is most likely causing the issue?

  1. HDD
  2. RAM
  3. NIC
  4. BIOS

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A mechanical hard drive's spin-up and seek times are the primary bottleneck during boot, swapping to an SSD dramatically reduces startup delays.



A customer reports their tablet was recently dropped on the ground. The tablet has a small crack in one corner of the display, and it does not charge when plugged in.
Which of the following should a technician do first?

  1. Perform a hard restart.
  2. Replace the battery.
  3. Inspect the USB-C port for damage.
  4. Run diagnostics on the digitizer.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Since the tablet was dropped and now won't charge, the most likely culprit is a bent or broken charging port.
Verifying physical damage to the USB-C connector before replacing components or running software diagnostics prevents unnecessary work and pinpoints the root cause.



A technician needs to select PC components with a minimal number of visible internal cables.
Which of the following should the technician use?

  1. SATA drive connections
  2. Liquid cooling
  3. Modular power supply
  4. Wireless NIC

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

A modular power supply lets you attach only the power cables you need, keeping unused cables out of the case and minimizing visible internal wiring.



A user is traveling internationally. They can make and receive phone calls but cannot send or receive email.
Which of the following would most likely resolve this issue?

  1. Disabling the GPS
  2. Enabling data roaming
  3. Configuring 4G usage only
  4. Connecting using a hotspot

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Voice calls can still go through on the partner networks without data roaming enabled, but mobile email requires a data connection. Turning on data roaming allows the device to use cellular data while abroad, restoring email functionality.



Which of the following should be used when installing network cabling above a drop ceiling that is part of the shared air space?

  1. Shielded twisted
  2. Plenum-rated
  3. Optical
  4. Coaxial

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Plenum-rated cable uses a low-smoke, fire-resistant jacket designed for use in plenum spaces (shared air handling areas) to meet building and fire codes.



While using a computer, a user reports that the system fan begins running loudly and the display starts to distort.
Which of the following is occurring?

  1. Overheating
  2. Sluggish performance
  3. Overclocking CPU
  4. Crashing applications

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A loud fan running at high speed alongside graphical distortion are classic signs that the system is overheating - thermal throttling and artifacting occur when components exceed safe operating temperatures.



Which of the following is a common feature of managed switches?

  1. Remote device power delivery
  2. Port VLAN assignment
  3. Content filtering
  4. Load balancing

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Managed switches allow administrators to assign individual ports to specific VLANs, enabling network segmentation and improved traffic control directly on the switch.



Which of the following is a characteristic of Type 2 hypervisors?

  1. Bare-metal installation
  2. Need for an underlying OS
  3. Local management only
  4. Specific hardware requirements

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Type 2 hypervisors run as applications atop a host operating system, relying on that OS for hardware drivers and resource management rather than interfacing directly with the hardware.
