Judge for yourself

A real A+ practice question from the bank

A user needs to store a single 8GB video file on a 64GB flash drive that will be moved between Windows and macOS computers. Which filesystem BEST fits this requirement?

A exFAT

✓ Right. exFAT handles files far larger than 4GB and works read/write on both Windows and macOS — the standard choice for large flash media.

B FAT32

✗ FAT32 can't store any file larger than 4GB. The 8GB video won't fit no matter the free space.

C NTFS

✗ NTFS is read-only on macOS out of the box, so the drive wouldn't be writable on half the machines.

D ext4

✗ ext4 is Linux's filesystem — neither Windows nor macOS reads it natively.

Core 2, domain 1.0 Operating Systems. One of 992 A+ questions.

Common questions

What it costs, what it covers, what it can't do

How many A+ questions are there?

992, each written to the current blueprint with a real explanation. The free tier includes 100 of them, spread across every domain, so you can judge the quality before paying anything.

Is this enough to pass on its own?

No, and be wary of anyone who says otherwise. The real exam includes performance-based questions no app simulates. Ascert keeps the knowledge sharp; your course and labs build the skill.

What does it cost?

Free to try, then $11.99 once (both Cores), or $24.99 for every cert. No subscription, no account, no ads.
