You’ve likely heard that CompTIA Security+ General Security Concepts questions aren’t exactly easy. That’s true for most people, especially when terms like TOGAF, zero trust, or segmentation start showing up. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t have to feel that way. With the right kind of practice questions, ones that actually explain the “why” behind the answer, you’re much more likely to build real confidence before test day. We’ve created a free practice test that breaks down the General Security topics in a way that just makes more sense.
What’s covered in our CompTIA Security+ General Security Concepts Questions?
The Security Architecture questions available on Easy Prep are tailored for real exam readiness. Here’s what makes them stand out:
Realistic scenario-based questions
You’ve probably noticed that a lot of practice questions out there just test definitions or trivia. That’s not the case here. Our CompTIA Security+ General Security Concepts questions are built around realistic scenarios similar to what you’d actually see in the workplace or on the real exam. You’ll be challenged to apply knowledge about:
Enterprise frameworks like SABSA, TOGAF, and the Zachman framework
Trust models such as zero trust and the principle of least privilege
Secure system design principles, including defense-in-depth, segmentation, and isolation
These aren’t just dry textbook items. They’re likely to help you actually understand how and why these frameworks and models are used, not just memorize them for the sake of the test.
Levels make it easier
Learning general security concepts can seem overwhelming at first, especially if you’re new to IT or cybersecurity. That’s why our practice test is designed with a layered, level-based structure that helps you ease into the material instead of diving straight into the deep end.
What’s unique here is that we use a spaced repetition technique, which means you’ll need to answer all questions correctly at your current level before unlocking the next. That might sound strict, but it’s actually a smart way to help you retain what you’ve learned long-term instead of forgetting it a few hours later.
This approach helps you build both memory and confidence. It’s probably one of the most effective ways to learn deeply without feeling overwhelmed.
Instant feedback & explanations
One thing learners tend to really appreciate about this test is the instant feedback. You don’t have to wait until the end to find out what went wrong or guess why an answer was incorrect.
Every question includes a detailed, clear explanation right after you submit your answer. Suppose you confuse “zero trust” with “least privilege”, you’ll see exactly why one applies in the situation and the other doesn’t.
This makes a huge difference because you’re not just guessing and moving on. You’re actually learning through doing, which is arguably one of the best ways to prep for Security+.
Friendly for beginners
Suppose you’re not from a traditional IT background or you're switching careers. No problem. This practice test is made to be accessible and supportive, even if this is your first time tackling Security Concepts topics.
Now, still feel like General Security Concepts are a bit out of reach? With our CompTIA Security+ practice test, there’s nothing to install, and no account to create. You just start right away. Give it five minutes. You might be surprised how much easier Security Concepts and other domains start to feel.
