Three of the 192 questions in this pack

Question 1

Which of the following is the most important consideration when opening a file on an OS GUI?

  1. File extension
  2. Default permissions
  3. Backup policy
  4. Data compression
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. File extension

The file extension is the most critical consideration when opening a file on a GUI because it determines which application the OS will use to open the file and how the file will be interpreted. The extension tells the system what type of file it is (e.g., .txt for text, .pdf for documents, .exe for executables), which is essential for proper file handling and security.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. Default permissions affect access control but not how or whether a file opens initially.
  • C. Backup policy is a maintenance consideration, not relevant to the immediate act of opening a file.
  • D. Data compression affects storage efficiency but not the primary consideration when opening a file.

Question 2

A database has the following schema:

Which of the following is the number of records in the schema?

Exhibit for question 2

  1. 3
  2. 4
  3. 12
  4. 21
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. 4

A record in a database is a single row of data in a table. Examining the table provided, there are 5 rows total: one header row (ID, Name, Age) and four data rows containing John, Jane, Allison, and Anna. Since the header row is metadata defining the schema structure rather than actual data records, the number of records in the schema is 4.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. 3 is incorrect; there are four distinct data rows, not three.
  • C. 12 is the ID number of one record (Allison's row), not the total count of records.
  • D. 21 is the ID number of another record (Anna's row), not the total count of records.

Question 3

Which of the following devices extends the range of a network?

  1. Modem
  2. Server
  3. Host firewall
  4. Access point
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Access point

An access point is specifically designed to extend wireless network range by receiving signals from a wireless router and amplifying/retransmitting them to cover a larger area. This is its primary function in extending network coverage.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. A modem connects to an ISP and converts signals but does not extend network range.
  • B. A server provides services and storage but is not designed to extend network coverage range.
  • C. A host firewall is a software security tool on individual devices and does not extend network range.

What makes the Tech+ hard

Tech+ is the entry point to the whole CompTIA path. Pass it and A+, Network+ and Security+ become noticeably easier to approach. Fail it and it is another US$129 plus a delay to a career you have already decided on.

It catches more people off guard than it should. It is not just a terminology quiz: it covers six domains, tech concepts, infrastructure, applications, software development, database fundamentals and security, and expects you to apply those concepts in scenarios rather than recite definitions. Infrastructure and security together make up 43% of the exam, and candidates who study only at surface level tend to underestimate both.

This pack puts all 192 questions in one place, so the question style is familiar before exam day.

About the exam

CompTIA Tech+ is CompTIA’s pre-career foundational certification, replacing the older ITF+. It validates broad IT knowledge across hardware, software, networking, security, databases and software development, the concepts every IT professional needs before specialising. It is the recommended starting point for the CompTIA path leading to A+, Network+ and Security+. The current version is V6, series code FC0-U71, launched 16 July 2024. No prior experience or prerequisites are required. FC0-U71 itself does not expire; the FC0-U71-CE variant is valid for five years and renewable through continuing education.

Exam domains

  • Tech concepts and terminology: 13%
  • Infrastructure: 24%
  • Applications and software: 18%
  • Software development concepts: 13%
  • Data and database fundamentals: 13%
  • Security: 19%

Up to 70 questions, 60 minutes, pass mark 650 out of 900, Pearson VUE testing centres or online proctored, US$129 per voucher, no expiry date.
