Current exam position
What this course maps to today.
This practice course targets the current OGEA-103 combined Foundation and Practitioner examination. It is independent preparation and does not reproduce official or recalled exam questions.
Course value
Connect TOGAF concepts to sound architecture decisions.
The combined OGEA-103 path tests more than recall. It asks you to connect TOGAF concepts, the Architecture Development Method and governance choices to the situations an enterprise architecture practitioner faces.
These practice tests help you identify whether a gap sits in core terminology, ADM sequencing or scenario judgment. The explanations give you a focused review path before your next attempt.
- Core concepts and terminology
- Review the foundational language, principles and building blocks used across the TOGAF Standard.
- Architecture Development Method
- Reason through ADM phases, objectives, inputs, outputs, iteration and the choices that connect one phase to the next.
- Governance and capability
- Test how architecture governance, compliance, roles and an effective architecture capability support change.
- Stakeholders and communication
- Apply stakeholder analysis, viewpoints and communication choices to enterprise architecture scenarios.
- Part 2 scenario judgment
- Compare plausible responses and select the option that best applies TOGAF guidance to the situation described.
- Combined-exam pacing
- Practice moving from knowledge questions to scenario-based decisions within the timed combined format.
Practice format
Six combined tests covering knowledge and scenario judgment.
You get 6 practice tests, with 48 questions in each test (288 questions in total).
Each test gives you 150 minutes.
The course language is English, and the course level is Foundation to Practitioner.
Course fit
Who this is—and isn’t—for.
A good fit if
- TOGAF learners preparing for the combined OGEA-103 Foundation and Practitioner examination.
- Enterprise, solution, business, data, application or technology architects who want scenario practice.
- Consultants, business analysts, project managers and transformation professionals who already know the basic TOGAF vocabulary.
Not designed for
- A from-zero video course or hands-on architecture workshop.
- Preparation for a different TOGAF exam code or certification version.
- Anyone looking for official or guaranteed exam questions.
Question clinic
Try one original question—and inspect every option.
Mapped topic: Stakeholder management and architecture viewpoints
A transformation program has broad executive support, but business leaders disagree about which concerns the architecture must address first. The architecture team has already begun drafting target-state models. What is the best next move?
Complete the target-state models so leaders can react to a concrete proposal.
Identify the key stakeholders, document their concerns, and select viewpoints that make those concerns examinable.
Ask the sponsor to choose the preferred target architecture without further analysis.
Pause architecture work until every stakeholder agrees on a single business objective.
Answer and distractor analysis
Best answer: B. The immediate problem is not model completeness but missing stakeholder framing. Mapping stakeholders, concerns, and viewpoints produces the evidence needed to compare targets and supports traceable architecture decisions.
- A
- This creates more architecture before the stakeholder concerns and decision criteria are understood.
- B
- This connects stakeholder analysis to useful architecture views before the team commits to a target.
- C
- Sponsorship matters, but a single choice does not resolve the evidence and concern gaps among affected stakeholders.
- D
- Architecture must manage differing concerns; unanimous agreement is neither required nor a practical entry condition.
Study method
Use each test to separate knowledge gaps from scenario-judgment gaps.
- 1
Take one timed test without notes so the result reflects your current baseline.
- 2
Review every missed answer and every correct guess. Use the explanation to identify why the best option fits the scenario.
- 3
Group misses by exam domain or learning objective, then revisit those concepts in current official resources.
- 4
Retake only after targeted study and keep an unseen test for your final rehearsal.
What candidates usually get wrong
Where otherwise strong preparation can break down.
Memorizing ADM as a rigid waterfall
Scenario answers often depend on iteration, level of detail, and the purpose of a phase rather than a fixed one-pass sequence.
Corrective move: For every ADM phase, practice naming its objective, the decision it enables, and the earlier phase it may need to revisit.
Choosing the most elaborate answer
A comprehensive-sounding option can be weaker than the option that directly addresses the stated concern.
Corrective move: Underline the constraint and stakeholder concern before comparing the proposed actions.
Treating governance as final approval
Governance also establishes decision rights, compliance expectations, and change control throughout the lifecycle.
Corrective move: Trace governance responsibilities from architecture mandate through implementation and change requests.
Using Part 1 recall habits in Part 2
Scenario questions reward the best application of guidance, not simply a true statement about the standard.
Corrective move: Rank options by fit to the scenario, then explain why each plausible distractor is incomplete.
