Ninety questions, and where the marks are
XK0-006 is 90 questions in 90 minutes, scored 100-900 with 720 to pass. This guide reads the shipped question pool rather than describing it: which of the two pools is this exam, whether the practice is weighted like the paper, what the clock leaves once performance-based questions take their share, and which tools the questions actually name.

This guide includes
Use this when you are deciding what to revise and whether you are ready. This matters because two pools ship on this site and one of them is the previous exam with four domains - practising it is practising a blueprint CompTIA has retired.
- telling the two shipped pools apart, and which one is XK0-006
- checking the pool's weighting against CompTIA's published domain weights
- working out what the clock leaves once performance-based questions take their share
- reading which tools the questions actually name, family by family
- deciding what to revise from counts rather than from the domain titles
