CompTIA PenTest+
Five domains, ninety questions, 165 minutes, and a scaled pass mark of 750 on a 100–900 scale. Effective from 17 December 2024; checked against CompTIA’s published objectives on 23 August 2026.

What this mock does not contain. The real PenTest+ includes performance‑based questions — simulated shells, scan output and exploitation tasks you interact with. This mock is multiple choice and multiple response only. It covers every domain at its official weighting and matches the real count and timing, but your scaled score is our estimate: CompTIA weights those questions more heavily and does not publish by how much.
Five full papers
Each assembled fresh from the bank at the published weighting, so no two sittings are the same paper.
Unlimited retakes
Sit them as often as you like. Every attempt produces its own score report.
An explanation per question
Why the key follows, what the strongest distractor was, and the rule that generalises past this item.
A domain breakdown
Scored against the official weighting, so the weak domain you find here is the one that matters there.
