Frequently asked questions

Is this test aligned with the SY0-701 exam objectives?

Yes. Questions are mapped to the five SY0-701 domain areas — General Security Concepts, Threats/Vulnerabilities/Mitigations, Security Architecture, Security Operations, and Security Program Management — in approximate proportion to their exam weights.

How many questions are in the Security+ practice test?

The full readiness test (Hard mode) covers 25 questions across all domains. Easy mode focuses on fundamental concepts; Hard mode includes advanced threat vectors, cryptographic details, and policy/governance questions typical of the SY0-701.

How does the readiness score work?

Your answers are scored using Examifyr's weighted model (easy = 1pt, medium = 2pt, hard = 3pt), normalised to a 0–100 readiness score. You'll also see your accuracy per topic so you know exactly which SY0-701 domains need more study time.

How is SY0-701 different from the previous Security+ exam?

SY0-701 (launched November 2023) places more emphasis on hybrid environments, Zero Trust architecture, AI-enabled threats, and automation in security operations compared to SY0-601. The domain structure was also rebalanced — Security Operations now carries 28% of the exam weight.

What score means I am ready for the Security+ exam?

On Examifyr, a readiness score of 85–100 places you in the Exam Ready band — statistically the group most likely to pass on their first attempt. A score of 70–84 (Almost Ready) suggests a further 1–2 weeks of targeted review. Below 70, the AI Report identifies the exact SY0-701 objectives you need to close before booking.

Is the Security+ practice test free?

Completely free — no account, no credit card. After you complete the test you can optionally purchase a deep-dive AI Report ($19) that gives you a 14-day personalised study plan mapped to your specific SY0-701 weak areas.
