Question 1 of 10
Objective 1.2 Operating systems

While reviewing BitLocker prerequisite check, which interpretation is correct?

Concept tested: Operating systems

A. Incorrect: Turning off a feature does not solve the specific control or troubleshooting requirement in the stem.

B. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the bitlocker prerequisite check requirement in the question.

C. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the bitlocker prerequisite check requirement in the question.

D. Correct: BitLocker deployment depends on supported protectors such as TPM or configured startup-key methods.

Why this matters: This matters because encryption setup fails or becomes risky when prerequisite protectors are ignored.

Question 2 of 10
Objective 2.1 Security

What is the most accurate description of principle of least privilege?

Concept tested: Security

A. Correct: Least privilege limits users to only the access needed for authorized tasks.

B. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the principle of least privilege requirement in the question.

C. Incorrect: It weakens identity or access control instead of verifying the request safely.

D. Incorrect: It targets hardware or device settings that do not address the tested software or policy issue.

Why this matters: This matters because unnecessary permissions expand the impact of mistakes, malware, and account compromise.
Question 3 of 10
Objective 3.2 Software troubleshooting

Which option corresponds to print spooler issue?

Concept tested: Software troubleshooting

A. Incorrect: It targets hardware or device settings that do not address the tested software or policy issue.

B. Correct: Printer troubleshooting starts with guided repair and simple restart steps before reinstalling the device.

C. Incorrect: Turning off a feature does not solve the specific control or troubleshooting requirement in the stem.

D. Incorrect: It changes disk layout or boot data even though the problem is not a disk-layout issue.

Why this matters: This matters because print issues often resolve through service or device checks before disruptive reinstall work.
Question 4 of 10
Objective 4.4 Operational procedures

Which option most accurately characterizes backup strategy?

Concept tested: Operational procedures

A. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the backup strategy requirement in the question.

B. Correct: A reliable backup strategy uses multiple backup copies and restore testing so recovery objectives can be met.

C. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the backup strategy requirement in the question.

D. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the backup strategy requirement in the question.

Why this matters: This matters because untested backups are only assumptions until a restore proves they work.
Question 5 of 10
Objective 1.3 Operating systems

Which option corresponds to Task Manager startup impact review?

Concept tested: Operating systems

A. Incorrect: It focuses on storage cleanup rather than the tested configuration or security control.

B. Incorrect: It is destructive or overly broad compared with the focused support action needed here.

C. Correct: Startup app settings show which applications run at sign-in and let the technician disable unnecessary startup entries.

D. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the startup app review requirement in the question.

Why this matters: This matters because startup troubleshooting should reduce unnecessary launch items before changing unrelated drivers or hardware.

Question 6 of 10
Objective 2.4 Security

Which option corresponds to account lockout policy?

Concept tested: Security

A. Incorrect: A reinstall or reset is more disruptive than the targeted diagnostic step the scenario calls for.

B. Correct: Account lockout thresholds reduce online guessing by locking accounts after too many failed sign-in attempts.

C. Incorrect: Turning off a feature does not solve the specific control or troubleshooting requirement in the stem.

D. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the account lockout policy requirement in the question.

Why this matters: This matters because brute-force defense depends on stopping repeated attempts before passwords are guessed.
Question 7 of 10
Objective 3.3 Software troubleshooting

A browser home page and search engine changed without permission, and the user is being redirected to unwanted sites. What issue is most likely?

Concept tested: Software troubleshooting

A. Correct: Unwanted ads, pop-ups, redirects, and malicious extensions point to unwanted software or browser malware that should be removed.

B. Incorrect: It targets hardware or device settings that do not address the tested software or policy issue.

C. Incorrect: It changes printer behavior, which is unrelated to the tested operating system or security task.

D. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the browser pop-ups and redirects requirement in the question.

Why this matters: This matters because scareware and malicious extensions are designed to trick users into unsafe actions.
Question 8 of 10
Objective 4.1 Operational procedures

What is the best definition of change management record?

Concept tested: Operational procedures

A. Correct: Change management records capture scope, risk, approvals, and rollback planning before work begins.

B. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the change management record requirement in the question.

C. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the change management record requirement in the question.

D. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the change management record requirement in the question.

Why this matters: This matters because undocumented changes are harder to approve, troubleshoot, or reverse.
Question 9 of 10
Objective 1.1 Operating systems

Which primary requirement applies to Command Prompt SFC scan in support work?

Concept tested: Operating systems

A. Correct: The sfc /scannow command scans protected Windows system files and repairs incorrect versions.

B. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the sfc system file repair requirement in the question.

C. Incorrect: It belongs to recovery planning and does not address this particular support decision.

D. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the sfc system file repair requirement in the question.

Why this matters: This matters because SFC is aimed at Windows system file integrity, not application preferences or unrelated device settings.
Question 10 of 10
Objective 2.2 Security

Which primary requirement applies to full-disk encryption in support work?

Concept tested: Security

A. Incorrect: It belongs to connectivity troubleshooting, not the concept being tested here.

B. Incorrect: It addresses a different support concern and would not resolve the full-disk encryption requirement in the question.

C. Incorrect: Turning off a feature does not solve the specific control or troubleshooting requirement in the stem.

D. Correct: Full-disk encryption protects data at rest when a device is lost, stolen, or accessed without authorization.

Why this matters: This matters because device loss becomes a data-confidentiality problem when storage is not encrypted.

Careers and fields this exam supports

A+ Core 2 fits the operating system, security, and support-process side of entry-level IT work.

  • Role examples: help desk technician, desktop support analyst, service desk specialist, and junior systems support.
  • Where it shows up: OS support, endpoint security, user administration, and support operations.
  • On-the-job payoff: the role depends on troubleshooting Windows, access, security basics, and common service workflows.
  • Typical next step: It naturally follows Core 1 and helps before branching into Network+, Security+, or admin-facing certs.
What matters more on A+ Core 2

A+ Core 2 usually rewards broad operational judgment across the whole exam lane, not just isolated fact recall.

  • Current emphasis in this bank: Operating systems (28%).
  • Many CompTIA misses happen when two answers are both partly true but only one matches the right role, process order, or troubleshooting scope.
  • Best official starting point: CompTIA A+.
How to pass 220-1102

The fastest path is to turn this exam into a repeatable pattern-recognition loop instead of a one-time cram session.

  • Start with the free daily set closed-book so you can see which parts of the cloud and it lane still feel weak.
  • Use every explanation as a checkpoint for why the right answer fits the scenario and why the other answer choices do not.
  • Open the official CompTIA source when a concept keeps missing so you fix the gap at the source instead of rereading generic notes.
  • Use the nearby cert pages when you need broader context around the same job path or technology stack.
Common mistakes on 220-1102

The usual misses happen when learners recognize keywords but do not slow down enough to match the scenario to the exact decision the exam is testing.

  • Reading for one familiar keyword and skipping the deeper clue that tells you which cloud and it concept actually fits.
  • Memorizing isolated terms without checking why the right answer wins over the other answer choices in the same scenario.
  • Ignoring the official CompTIA source after a miss and hoping the next question will feel easier on its own.
  • Studying this page in isolation when one nearby cert page could clear up the broader pattern much faster.
How to use this 220-1102 practice page

The fastest path is simple: answer the set, review the reasoning, then use the score history and source links to decide what to hit next.

  • Answer the free set first without looking anything up so the score reflects what is actually sticking.
  • Read every explanation, especially the wrong answer choices, so the weaker options stop looking plausible next time.
  • Open the linked source when a concept feels weak, then come back and repeat the question flow while the wording is fresh.
  • Use the 7-day score keeper, related cert links, and comparison pages to decide what to study next instead of guessing.
  • Move into the app when you want the full bank, timed reps, readiness tracking, and a steadier mobile study loop.

FAQ

How are A+ Core 2 questions generated?

dotCreds builds A+ Core 2 practice questions from CompTIA documentation, standards, and source-backed references, with official or primary sources preferred first. The questions are written for realistic study practice, not copied from exam dumps.

How are explanations sourced?

Each question includes a source-backed explanation and a link to the documentation or reference used to validate the answer. If an official page is too broad, dotCreds uses a reputable answer-level reference instead of pretending a generic page proves the answer.

What score do I get?

The page tracks today's answered count and accuracy for the 10-question daily set, then saves a 7-day score history on this device so you can see your recent practice trend.

Why use this site?

The site is the fastest way to start A+ Core 2 practice without installing anything. It is built for daily recall, quick weak-topic discovery, and source-backed explanations you can review immediately.

Why use the app when available?

The web page is the quick free sampler. If a dotCreds app is available for A+ Core 2, the app is better for larger banks, focused weak-domain drills, longer review sessions, and mobile study routines.
