Official CompTIA exam objectives
Know exactly what topics you need to study. Every domain, objective, and sub-objective covered on the certification exams — as official PDFs.
What are exam objectives?
Exam objectives (also called exam blueprints) are official documents published by CompTIA that outline every topic, skill, and knowledge area tested on their certification exams. They serve as the definitive study guide for what you need to know to pass.
Each document breaks the exam into domains (major topic areas), objectives (specific skills), and sub-objectives (detailed knowledge points). It also shows each domain's percentage weight on the exam — helping you prioritize your study time where it counts.
How to use exam objectives
Four ways to turn the blueprint into a study plan.
Print the objectives and check off each domain as you master it — nothing on the exam falls outside this list.
Review each objective and honestly assess your current knowledge. Focus extra time on weak areas.
Domains with higher percentages have more questions. Allocate study time proportionally.
Before scheduling your exam, review every objective to confirm total coverage — no surprises on test day.
