# CompTIA A+ Quiz Application
**Created by [Mira2720](https://github.com/Mira2720)**
⚠️ **This project is for educational and portfolio purposes only.**
---
## Description
This Python quiz application was built as a portfolio project to demonstrate hands-on programming skills, especially in the context of IT certification preparation. While the structure and logic mirror what an actual CompTIA A+ certification quiz would be like, **the questions used in this version are not real exam questions** due to copyright restrictions. They are **sample placeholders** that can be swapped out with official content by authorized parties if needed.
---
## Features
- Terminal + GUI modes
- Select between **Core 1** and **Core 2**
- Category-based filtering (e.g., Networking, Hardware, Security)
- Difficulty levels: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced
- Real-time feedback with explanations
- Score tracking with result saving in `quiz_results.json`

## How to Use
1. **Make sure you have Python 3 installed.**
2. Navigate to the project folder in your terminal.
3. Run the app with:
```bash
python3 compTIA_quiz_app.py
```
4. When prompted, enter:
- `questions_core1.json` for Core 1 questions, or
- `questions_core2.json` for Core 2 questions.
---
## Example Use Case
This app could be used internally by educators or institutions for structuring practice material. Actual CompTIA content should be inserted only with proper licensing.
---
## Why this project?
I built this as a Capstone-style portfolio project that:
- Combines real certification structure with hands-on Python
- Highlights key IT domains I've studied, including:
- **CompTIA A+**
- **Google Data Analytics**
- **Codecademy Python, SQL, and R certificates**
