CompTIA Security+ Practice Questions

Start with a practice quiz

For a broad starting point, try Security + Practice. Its questions include change and incident management and account policy controls. You can use those prompts to see which terms and situations you want to study more closely.

Another starting point is Security + practice exam. It includes questions about access control policies and a lightly protected subnet outside a company firewall. After taking a quiz, note the questions you want to return to and the concepts they mention.

Explore specific security questions

The other quizzes offer different starting points. One asks about the OSI model and annual loss expectancy. Another includes questions on penetration testing, authentication factors and availability. There are also questions about backup strategies, mobile device management and handling evidence.

Choose a quiz whose questions match what you are studying, then compare the terms used across quizzes. For example, questions about account policy controls and authentication factors offer different ways to practice thinking about access.

Use a map alongside the quizzes

This page lists quizzes rather than mind maps. You can still make a map to organize concepts from the questions you encounter. For example, place authentication at the center and add branches for the account policy and authentication-factor questions. A free GoConqr account lets you create your own mind maps.

Return to the quizzes after organizing your notes. The questions give you a way to practice applying the terms, while your map gives you a place to group them.
