CompTIA Security+ Exam Questions — FAQ

How many questions are on the CompTIA Security+ SY0-701 exam?

The CompTIA Security+ exam has up to 90 questions — a mix of multiple-choice and performance-based questions — and you get 90 minutes to finish. SY0-701 is the current exam (CompTIA lists its successor, SY0-801, for late 2026; SY0-701 stays available until mid-2027).

What is the passing score for CompTIA Security+?

The passing score is 750 (on a 100–900 scale). CompTIA uses scaled scoring, so aim for a comfortable margin on full-length practice exams before you book.

Are these real CompTIA Security+ exam questions?

No — and you should avoid any site that claims to sell real exam questions ("dumps"); using them breaks CompTIA's candidate agreement. Every ExamGrit question is original and exam-style, written against the official SY0-701 objectives, with an explanation for every answer.

How long do I get access to the CompTIA Security+ question bank?

Choose 3, 6 or 12 months of access with a one-time payment. There is no subscription and no automatic renewal.
