The CAS-005 exam, officially titled CompTIA SecurityX Certification Exam, is the qualifying test for the CompTIA CASP certification from CompTIA, a credential at the Expert 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 SecurityX (formerly CASP+).

The CompTIA SecurityX Certification exam gives you 165 minutes to work through Up to 90 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 Prep4away test engine — when the clock feels familiar, it stops being a threat.

You need Pass/Fail (no scaled score) to pass, and the official registration fee is $512 USD. 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 Prep4away practice questions until you score comfortably above the passing mark, then book your seat.

Minimum of 10 years of general hands-on IT experience, including 5 years of broad hands-on IT security experience. Recommended knowledge of Network+, Security+, CySA+, Cloud+, and PenTest+ or equivalent. Eligibility rules can change over time, so before you register, confirm the latest requirements on the official exam page: CompTIA CAS-005 exam overview.
