LPIC-1 practice questions — both papers, objective by objective
LPIC-1 is one certification, sat as LPIC-1 Exam 101-500 and LPIC-1 Exam 102-500, and you need all of them. 615 original practice questions are written here across 10 objectives, from the published LPI objectives and the manual pages those objectives name.
What the certification is
LPIC-1 is one certification sat as two papers, 101-500 and 102-500, and both are required. Every objective of each, with the questions written against it.
The papers are weighted differently and are sat separately, in either order. Passing one of them is not a certification; passing both is. That is why this page exists and why neither paper's own page can stand in for it — each of those describes one half and would have to misdescribe the other.

Where these questions come from
Every item cites the LPI objective it was written against and, where the objective names a command, the manual page for that command. How these questions are written says what that means in practice, what the verification ledger records, and which kind of check this bank has actually had.
Every exam published on certotter lists the rest.
