Answers Every FC0-U71-CE Candidate Should Read First
The CompTIA Tech+ Certification exam is the official CompTIA test registered under exam code FC0-U71-CE. Passing it earns you the CompTIA Tech+ certification, a credential at the Entry-level level. It is also linked to the related certifications: CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+. CompTIA exams are valued because they test job-ready skills, so a passing score here carries real weight on a resume.
The CompTIA Tech+ Certification exam includes Up to 70 questions to be completed within 60 minutes. Do the pacing math before exam day: with that many items on the clock, you need a steady rhythm and the discipline to flag a hard question and move on instead of stalling. Two or three full timed sessions with the ActualCollection test engine will show you exactly what that pace feels like, so time pressure stops being a factor on the real day.
To pass the CompTIA Tech+ Certification exam you need 650 (scaled 100–900), and the official registration fee is USD 129. A retake is not discounted: a failed attempt means paying the full USD 129 again, so treat your first sitting as the expensive one. A sensible rule is to book your seat only after you are scoring comfortably above the passing mark on the ActualCollection practice tests, not just squeaking past it once.
