The PT0-001 exam, officially titled CompTIA PenTest+ Certification Exam, is the qualifying test for the CompTIA PenTest+ certification from CompTIA, a credential at the Professional level. Passing it proves you have the skills employers look for in certified professionals, and it can also support progress toward related credentials such as CompTIA PenTest+.

The CompTIA PenTest+ Certification exam gives you 165 minutes to work through Maximum 85 questions. That is a steady pace with little room for second-guessing, so train yourself to read each question once, flag the difficult ones, and keep moving. Before exam day, sit at least two full timed sessions in the TestKingsIT test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need 750 (on a scale of 100-900) to pass, and the official registration fee is USD 349. Fall short and you pay that fee in full again for every retake, which makes solid preparation the cheaper option by far. Work through the TestKingsIT practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.

No mandatory prerequisite exam. CompTIA recommended Network+, Security+, or equivalent knowledge and 3-4 years of hands-on information security experience. Eligibility rules can change over time, so before you register, confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page: CompTIA PT0-001 exam overview.
