How Skarp gets you to 75%
Step 1
Free diagnostic
About a minute. You get a score for every domain, not a single number — so you can tell whether the gap is in “Security Operations” or somewhere narrower.
Step 2
A study guide from your wrong answers
Not a generic chapter. The guide is written against the questions you actually missed, and it explains why each wrong option was wrong.
Step 3
Mock exams at real conditions
90 questions, 90 minutes, same domain weighting as the real SY0-701 paper.
Step 4
Repeat, re-weighted
Each retake over-weights the domains you struggled with, until your readiness score sits clear of the 75% pass mark.
CompTIA Security+ — common questions
How many questions are on the CompTIA Security+ exam?
The CompTIA Security+ exam has 90 questions with a 90-minute time limit. Skarp mock exams match that count and timing so practice feels like the real sitting.
What score do you need to pass SY0-701?
You need 75% to pass. Skarp tracks a readiness score against that threshold, domain by domain, so you can see whether you are above the line before you book.
Which blueprint version does this cover?
Skarp maps every CompTIA Security+ question to the official SY0-701 exam objectives blueprint from CompTIA, across 5 exam domains. Questions are dated to their blueprint version, so you are never studying a retired syllabus.
Is the CompTIA Security+ diagnostic free?
Yes. The diagnostic is free and needs no card. It takes about a minute and reports which of the 5 exam domains are already solid and which are not. Full prep — adaptive study guides and unlimited mock exams — needs Plus.
How much does the CompTIA Security+ exam cost?
CompTIA charges around $392 to sit SY0-701. That is the exam fee itself and is paid to CompTIA, not to Skarp — which is why it is worth knowing you are ready before you book.
