CompTIA A+ Computer Component Match

Identify components, check compatibility and connect symptoms to useful checks.

Click or tap an answer to match it to the function, specification or symptom. Keyboard: Tab to a card, Enter or Space to choose. Mouse dragging onto the target is optional.

Correct completion earns 100 once per round. A hint reduces that round’s award to 75. Retries earn no extra points; first-attempt accuracy and hint use are tracked separately. No timer or speed bonus.
