Study plan
Build an exam-date study plan.
Set an exam date and RTJ builds a day-by-day plan from the published domain weights and your objective-level practice history. The plan is a study aid, not a pass prediction.
Set your exam date
Choose the date you are working toward so the plan has a real endpoint.
Follow the day-by-day plan
RTJ weights the plan with the published exam domains and links each day to study work.
Return to weak objectives
Your objective-level practice history feeds a What to study next loop after quizzes and practice exams.
Sample question
From the quiz pool.
Domain 2.0 Networking
A user reports their laptop connects to the office WiFi but cannot access internal resources. Other users on the same network are unaffected. What is the most likely cause?
ADNS server is down for the entire office
BUser's laptop has an incorrect IP configurationAnswer
CWireless access point has failed
DISP is blocking the user's MAC address
Why
Other users are unaffected, so the AP, DNS server, and ISP are all working. That isolates the issue to the user's machine. The most likely cause is an incorrect IP configuration (wrong subnet, missing default gateway, or APIPA address from a failed DHCP request).

Do I need both 220-1201 and 220-1202 for A+?+
CompTIA A+ uses two exams: Core 1 (220-1201) and Core 2 (220-1202). RTJ provides both tracks and keeps their practice evidence separate.
Is the A+ free tier available without a credit card?+
Yes. The free tier includes unlimited Study and Flashcards, one Adventure lesson per track, five Simulator tickets per day, and one full-length Practice Exam attempt per track. No credit card is required.
What is the Mastery Index?+
The Mastery Index summarizes correctness across your RTJ question history by objective and shows an evidence-quality label. It is an internal, uncalibrated study signal, not a pass predictor or exam-booking threshold.
How does RTJ show what to study next?+
The per-objective weak-spot loop turns missed questions into a What to study next list with direct routes back to the matching practice and study material.
