What Is on the CompTIA Server+ Exam?

The CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 exam covers four domains: Server Administration (30%), Troubleshooting (28%), Security and Disaster Recovery (24%), and Server Hardware Installation and Management (18%).[2]

Server Administration is the largest section — covering server roles, virtualization, operating systems, storage, asset management, and licensing — while Troubleshooting tests a structured methodology for diagnosing hardware, software, network, storage, and security problems. Our full practice test is weighted to match:

Practice Questions by Domain

Use Start Test for a full weighted SK0-005 simulation, or open the hub and pick a single domain to drill your weak area. After each full exam, your results show a per-domain breakdown so you know exactly where to focus — most candidates need the most reps on the performance-based Troubleshooting and Administration content.

What Are the Requirements for CompTIA Server+?

CompTIA Server+ has no mandatory prerequisites — the exam is open to anyone who registers and pays the fee. CompTIA does recommend that candidates already hold CompTIA A+ (or equivalent knowledge) and have roughly two years of hands-on experience in a server or data center environment before attempting SK0-005.[1]

CompTIA Network+ also provides useful background for the networking and security objectives.

How Do You Register for the CompTIA Server+ Exam?

You register for CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) by purchasing an exam voucher from the CompTIA Marketplace (store.comptia.org) or an authorized reseller, then scheduling through Pearson VUE.[5] You can test at a Pearson VUE testing center or via online proctored delivery from home.

After buying a voucher, sign in to your CompTIA and Pearson VUE accounts to choose a date, time, and delivery method. Verify the current voucher price and any bundle or retake options on the Marketplace, as prices vary by region and promotion.

What Is the Passing Score for CompTIA Server+?

The passing score for CompTIA Server+ SK0-005 is 750 on a scale of 100 to 900.[1] Scores are not a simple percentage of questions correct; CompTIA uses a scaled scoring model so questions of differing difficulty contribute appropriately, and performance-based questions are weighted alongside multiple-choice items.

You receive a pass or fail result immediately at the testing center, along with a score report that breaks down your performance by domain.

How Hard Is CompTIA Server+? (Pass Rate)

CompTIA does not publish official pass-rate statistics for Server+, so any specific first-attempt pass rate cited online is an unofficial estimate.[1] What is documented is the scoring threshold: you must earn a scaled score of at least 750 out of 900 to pass SK0-005. Candidates who struggle most often underestimate the performance-based troubleshooting questions and the breadth of the administration and disaster-recovery content.

The takeaway: drill until you’re consistently scoring above target on full-length practice — especially Administration and Troubleshooting — before you book your exam date.

What to Expect on Exam Day

Arrive at your Pearson VUE test center at least 15 minutes early to check in — bring a valid, unexpired government-issued photo ID whose name matches your CompTIA registration.[5] You’ll store phones and personal items in a locker; no notes are allowed.

A short tutorial precedes the exam, then you have 90 minutes to answer up to 90 multiple-choice and performance-based questions. The performance-based items ask you to complete tasks in a simulated environment, so budget time for them and don’t get stuck.

If you test via online proctoring, expect a similar room scan and ID check. CompTIA delivers a pass or fail result immediately, with a domain breakdown on your score report. Having simulated the full timing with practice tests makes that clock feel routine.

How to Use This CompTIA Server+ Practice Test

  • Recreate exam conditions. Take the full test timed, with no notes.[3]
  • Diagnose, then drill. Use a full SK0-005 simulation to find weak domains, then drill them.
  • Prioritize Administration + Troubleshooting. Together they’re over half the exam.
  • Practice the performance-based style. Think in steps and scenarios, not just recall.
  • Learn the why. Read every explanation — understanding beats memorizing.

Why Get CompTIA Server+ Certified?

Server+ is one of the few server-focused certifications with no recurring renewal requirement, and its vendor-neutral scope validates skills that apply across hardware brands and operating systems.[1] These free Server+ practice tests are the most efficient way to get there.

Conclusion

Passing SK0-005 comes down to knowing server administration, virtualization, security, and structured troubleshooting cold. Use this free CompTIA Server+ practice test to find your weak domains, drill them to mastery, and reinforce them with our study guide, flashcards so you walk in confident on test day.
