What the TOGAF is and how it works

According to The Open Group, “The Part 1 exam consists of **40 multiple‑choice questions**.”^[1] Practice with the free TOGAF - The Open Group Architecture Framework practice test on PracticeTestGeeks (7 questions with answer explanations).

The TOGAF Enterprise Architecture examinations are certification exams from The Open Group. Match your preparation and booking to the exam you intend to take: Enterprise Architecture Part 1 (OGEA-101) or Enterprise Architecture Part 2 (OGEA-102). Their question formats and time limits differ.

Part 1 has 40 multiple-choice questions and a 60-minute time limit. Part 2 has 8 scenario-based multiple-choice case study questions and a 90-minute time limit. The passing score is at least 60% for each exam. These details come from The Open Group’s exam-plan articles for OGEA-101 and OGEA-102.

Delivery is available at Pearson test centers or online through Pearson’s OnVUE remote-proctoring system. Exams are by appointment, subject to availability. Consult Pearson’s page for The Open Group when arranging your appointment and The Open Group’s OnVUE guidance when preparing for online delivery.

Retakes are permitted only after failure, with a wait of at least one month. The standard exam fee applies unless a discount voucher applies. If you fail a part of a combined examination, you only need to retake the failed part. The Open Group’s retake guidance is the official reference for these rules. Result processing by The Open Group can take up to 6 working days.

Worked examples: how to reason through TOGAF questions

These are practice questions written for this site, not questions from the real exam. Each explanation shows why the right answer is right and why the others are wrong.

Example 1

Question: Which ADM phase defines the target Business Architecture to support the Architecture Vision?

1. Preliminary Phase
2. Phase A
3. Phase B
4. Phase C

Answer: C. Phase B

Explanation:

Phase B is correct because Business Architecture is where the Baseline and Target Business Architectures are developed and compared through gap analysis. The question asks where the target Business Architecture is defined to support the Architecture Vision, so the specific architecture being developed determines the answer.

The Preliminary Phase concerns preparation and the architecture capability, rather than development of the target Business Architecture. Phase A establishes the Architecture Vision that guides the work. Phase C addresses Information Systems Architectures rather than Business Architecture.

Rule to remember: distinguish the vision that sets direction from the architecture work that develops it in detail. For target Business Architecture, select Phase B.

Example 2

Question: What is the purpose of the 'Governance Log' in the Architecture Repository?

1. To track architecture project budgets
2. To record all governance activity including compliance assessments and change requests
3. To store architecture training records
4. To manage architecture tool licenses

Answer: B. To record all governance activity including compliance assessments and change requests

Explanation:

The governance-activity option is correct. The Governance Log records governance activity, including compliance assessments, dispensations, change requests, and Architecture Board meeting minutes. Its purpose is to preserve a record of governance actions and decisions, making it possible to trace how architecture work has been assessed and managed.

Tracking project budgets is a financial-management activity, so the budget option misses the log’s purpose. Training records concern learning and capability development. Tool-license records concern the administration of software entitlements. None describes the governance record requested here.

Rule to remember: connect the Governance Log with compliance, exceptions, changes, and board proceedings. A record being useful to an architecture team does not automatically make it a governance record.

Example 3

Question: What is the TOGAF Technical Reference Model (TRM) primarily used for?

1. Mapping business processes to IT systems
2. Providing a fundamental architecture for information systems as a foundation for specific architectures
3. Documenting technology vendor contracts
4. Defining data governance policies

Answer: B. Providing a fundamental architecture for information systems as a foundation for specific architectures

Explanation:

The fundamental-architecture option is correct. The Technical Reference Model provides a foundation upon which more specific information-system architectures can be based. Its taxonomy of platform services gives architects a way to describe and organize the services that a particular architecture may need.

Mapping business processes to IT systems describes relationships in a specific organization; it does not describe the TRM’s primary purpose. Vendor contracts document commercial arrangements rather than a reference architecture. Data governance policies set rules for managing data, which is also a different purpose.

Rule to remember: a reference model supplies a reusable structure for more specific architectures. Look for the answer describing that foundation, rather than an organization’s mappings, contracts, or policies.

How to use these practice tests

Start by confirming your intended exam and reading its official exam plan from The Open Group. Use that material to establish what you need to study. The topic labels on this page are practice categories; no verified official content-area mapping is provided here.

Try the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture set to identify terms or decisions you cannot explain. For each uncertain answer, write down your reasoning before reading the explanation. Then check the relevant concept in official material and explain why the alternatives do not fit.

Choose follow-up practice based on the gap you found. Use TOGAF ADM Phases for phase distinctions, TOGAF Architecture Governance for governance concepts, and TOGAF Architecture Repository for repository records. Revisit uncertain questions after reviewing the material, checking whether you can explain the answer without relying on recognition.

Before test day, review the official instructions for your chosen delivery method. For Part 2 preparation, pay particular attention to the situation described in a question and the reasons an alternative may be less suitable. Treat practice performance as feedback about study needs.
