Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Network+ vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How does the Network+ vocabulary game work?
Each round shows a clue for one of 20 Network+ terms. Guess the term in six tries: green means the right letter in the right spot, yellow means the letter is in the term but in another spot, and gray means it is not in the term. After the round, read the explanation and play the next term.
Where do the Network+ terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the CompTIA / Pearson VUE content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the CompTIA Network+ passing score?
The CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) exam requires a passing score of 720 on a 100-900 scaled scale. The exam has up to 90 questions, including multiple-choice and performance-based questions, with a 90-minute time limit. CompTIA uses scaled scoring, so 720 is not a fixed percentage correct and the number of correct answers needed varies with the difficulty of your specific question set.
How hard is the CompTIA Network+ exam?
Network+ is a broad foundational networking certification that is usually harder than A+ because it expects applied subnetting, routing, switching, wireless, security, operations, and troubleshooting judgment. CompTIA recommends A+ plus 9-12 months of hands-on networking experience, but it does not publish an official pass rate. Candidates should expect PBQs that require configuration and troubleshooting rather than definition recall alone.
