OGEA-103 is The Open Group’s current combined TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Part 1 and Part 2 exam for candidates who want to earn the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner certification directly. It is based on the Body of Knowledge drawn from the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, not the older TOGAF 9 syllabus. There are no exam prerequisites.<\/p>\n
The current OGEA-103<\/a> combined exam has 48 items and a total test time of 2 hours 30 minutes. Section 1 contains 40 simple multiple-choice questions and is closed book. Section 2 contains 8 scenario-based complex multiple-choice questions, is open book, and provides the applicable TOGAF Body of Knowledge electronically inside the exam.<\/p>\n Section 1 is the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Part 1 foundation-level exam content. Candidates receive 60 minutes and must score at least 60%, which means 24 or more correct answers out of 40.<\/p>\n Section 2 is the Practitioner-level Part 2 content. Candidates receive 90 minutes and must also achieve 60%. The scenario questions use gradient scoring: the best answer earns the most points, weaker but partially valid answers earn fewer, and the least appropriate answer earns none.<\/p>\n The combined route is intended for candidates who want to achieve TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner directly rather than taking Part 1 and Part 2 on separate dates. Passing only one section does not award the final Practitioner certification.<\/p>\n The Open Group’s current FAQ also explains that if a candidate passes one section and fails the other, only the failed corresponding standalone exam needs to be retaken after the required waiting period. The already-passed section does not need to be repeated.<\/p>\n The foundation section allocates 8 questions to concepts. Candidates should understand Enterprise Architecture purpose and value, the structure of the TOGAF Standard, definitions used throughout the framework, architecture capability concepts, and how the Fundamental Content relates to supporting Series Guides.<\/p>\n A TOGAF concepts<\/a> is useful here, but final preparation should follow the 10th Edition Body of Knowledge rather than older version-specific terminology.<\/p>\n Fourteen Part 1 questions are allocated to the introduction to the Architecture Development Method. Candidates should know the purpose of the Preliminary Phase, Phases A through H, Requirements Management, iteration, inputs\/outputs at a conceptual level, and the way ADM phases cooperate rather than operating as a rigid waterfall.<\/p>\n The foundation objective is comprehension: know what each phase is trying to accomplish and how work flows across the cycle.<\/p>\n Part 1 assigns 6 questions to an introduction to ADM techniques and 4 questions to applying the ADM. Techniques include stakeholder-oriented and analysis methods that support architecture work, while applying the ADM covers ideas such as iteration, partitioning, levels, and configuring the method to organizational context.<\/p>\n The exam rewards understanding that the ADM is adaptable. A candidate should recognize why one organization might iterate or partition architecture work differently while preserving the method’s intent.<\/p>\n Three Part 1 questions focus on an introduction to Architecture Governance and 5 questions cover Architecture Content. Candidates should understand governance purpose, architecture contracts\/compliance at a high level, the Architecture Repository concept, and the relationship among deliverables, artifacts, and building blocks.<\/p>\n These topics help explain how architecture work becomes reviewable and reusable rather than remaining informal analysis.<\/p>\n The Practitioner section uses scenario-based questions drawn from eight major areas: context for Enterprise Architecture, stakeholder management, Phase A, architecture development across Phases B\/C\/D, implementation across Phases E\/F\/G, Architecture Change Management in Phase H, Requirements Management, and supporting ADM work.<\/p>\n This is the real difficulty transition. The candidate must choose the most appropriate TOGAF action for a situation, not simply identify the definition of a technique.<\/p>\n Practitioner-level scenarios can ask how to identify stakeholder concerns, communicate architecture value, establish scope, define the Architecture Vision, organize work, or respond to organizational constraints. The Open Group positions stakeholder management as a practical competency rather than an optional communication add-on.<\/p>\nThe combined exam is really two exams in one session<\/h3>\n
Both sections must be passed for the Practitioner qualification<\/h3>\n
Part 1 begins with TOGAF concepts and terminology<\/h3>\n
The ADM is the largest Part 1 topic<\/h3>\n
ADM techniques and application make up another major block<\/h3>\n
Governance and Architecture Content complete Part 1<\/h3>\n
Part 2 shifts from recall to application and analysis<\/h3>\n
Stakeholder and Architecture Vision work are central Practitioner skills<\/h3>\n
