One exam. Two formats. Zero room for guesswork.
The OGEA-103 combined exam is the gateway to becoming a TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner, and it punishes candidates who only half-prepare. Part 1 is closed-book and tests recall. Part 2 is open-book, gradient-scored, and tests how fast you can apply the framework under pressure. This guide prepares you for both, in one sitting, on your first attempt.
Aligned to the TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition, this study guide covers 100% of the Foundation and Practitioner syllabus. Content depth is weighted to mirror exam emphasis, so you spend the most time on the topics that carry the most marks (the ADM, its techniques, and the Architecture Content Framework) and move efficiently through the rest.
What you will learn:
- Every ADM phase from Preliminary through Phase H, including Requirements Management, with clear inputs, steps, and outputs
- The TOGAF Content Framework, Enterprise Continuum, and Architecture Repository explained in plain language and exam-ready detail
- How gradient scoring works on Part 2 and a repeatable method for picking the best answer when two options look equally valid
- Architecture governance, the Architecture Capability Framework, and the digital enterprise topics that the 10th Edition now emphasizes
- Time management for both sections (90 seconds per Part 1 question, 11 minutes per Part 2 scenario) and how to use the open-book reference effectively
Who this book is for:
- Architects preparing for the OGEA-103 combined exam who want a single, complete resource
- IT professionals moving into enterprise architecture roles who need TOGAF as a baseline credential
- Practitioners formalizing real-world EA experience into a globally recognized certification
What's inside:
- 12 weighted content chapters covering 100% of the Level 1 and Level 2 syllabus
- 200+ practice questions matched to the real exam format, with detailed explanations of every correct and incorrect option
- Two full-length mock exams (40 Part 1 questions plus 8 Part 2 scenarios each) that mirror the live exam structure
- A complete glossary, domain cheat sheets, and reference tables for rapid review in the final days
- Dedicated strategies for the closed-book Part 1 and open-book Part 2, because they require different study approaches
Why this book is different - most TOGAF guides treat the exam as one block of memorization. This guide explicitly teaches gradient scoring, covers frequently tested topics that competitors miss (value streams, document versioning in the Repository, digital enterprise considerations), and weights every chapter to match domain emphasis on the live exam.
Walk into the test center knowing exactly what to expect, exactly how to score, and exactly how to apply TOGAF when the questions are no longer multiple choice but real architectural decisions on the job.
