The following CompTIA A+ Recertification RC0-903 exam objectives result from subject matter expert workshops and industry - wide survey results regarding the skills and knowledge required of an entry - level IT technical support
professional.

This examination blueprint includes domain weighting, test objectives, and example content. Example topics and concepts are included to clarify the test objectives and should not be construed as a comprehensive listing of all the content of this examination.
