The cost of the CompTIA A+ exam varies depending on the exam format and location, but typically ranges from $219 to $339 per exam.

Detailed Answer

The CompTIA A+ exam is composed of two separate exams: Core 1 (220-1001) and Core 2 (220-1002). Each exam must be taken and passed individually.

The cost for each CompTIA A+ exam is $199 when taken at a Pearson VUE testing center.

If you choose to take the exams through CompTIA's online proctored exam option, the cost is $239 per exam.

Some training providers and learning institutions may charge an additional fee on top of the exam cost, which can increase the total expense.

The exams can also be taken through CompTIA's authorized training partners, who may offer the exams at a discounted rate or as part of a training package.

CompTIA offers exam voucher bundles that can provide a slight discount on the overall cost of the two A+ exams.
