What to Expect on the Exam

The Security+ exam consists of 100 questions, and you are allotted 90 minutes to complete it, so use your time wisely. The minimum passing score is 764, which is graded on a scale from 100 to 900. Your exam results will be displayed as soon as you complete the exam. Unfortunately, candidates are not able to review their incorrect test questions or answers. This procedure is in place to ensure that the integrity of the certification exam remains secure at all times. Which makes sense, it is a security exam right?

After you've successfully passed your Security+ exam with flying colors, CompTIA will award you with your certification that is good for life. Within four to six weeks of passing your exam, you will receive your official CompTIA Security+ certificate and ID card. (If you do not receive these within eight weeks of taking the test, go ahead and contact CompTIA directly using the information found in your registration packet.)
