TOGAF 9 Certified (OG0-092)

Part 2 (OG0-092) uses scenario-based questions. There are 8 questions, each presenting an architecture scenario with 4 answer options that must be ranked from best to worst. The exam is 90 minutes, scored out of 40 points, requiring 24 points (60%) to pass. Crucially, Part 2 is an open-book exam — you may bring the TOGAF standard as reference.

Each question is worth 5 points. You must rank 4 options from best to worst. A perfect ranking scores 5 points; partial credit (1-4 points) is awarded for rankings close to the correct answer; a completely wrong ranking scores 0. Always try to correctly place the best and worst options to maximize partial credit.

You may bring the TOGAF 9 standard document (electronic or printed). However, with only 90 minutes for 8 scenario questions, time for looking things up is limited. Use the reference to confirm specific details, not to learn on the spot. Familiarize yourself with the document structure beforehand so you know where key content is located.

Key strategies: (1) Master Part 1 fundamentals first. (2) Practice applying TOGAF to real-world architecture problems. (3) Focus on ADM phase application scenarios and best practices. (4) Train ranking logic — eliminate the clearly worst option first, then identify the best answer. (5) Do timed practice exams to build time management skills.

Yes, you must hold TOGAF 9 Foundation (Part 1) certification before registering for Part 2. Alternatively, you can take the Combined exam (OG0-093) which covers both parts in one session — Part 1 (40 questions, 60 min) followed by Part 2 (8 questions, 90 min) with a break in between.

Scenario questions typically span the full ADM cycle, but high-frequency topics include: Phase A (crafting Architecture Vision and gaining stakeholder buy-in), Phases B-D (developing domain architectures), Phase E (solution evaluation and migration planning), and Phase G (Implementation Governance). Also focus on Requirements Management and Architecture Change Management.
