TOGAF® 10 Exam Scenarios: What Happens If You Fail or Pass?
When it comes to TOGAF® 10, there are different paths to certification, and knowing the potential outcomes can help you prepare for the exam with confidence.
Scenario 1: Failing Both Part 1 and Part 2
- If you fail both Part 1 and Part 2 of the TOGAF® 10 exam, you will need to retake both parts.
- This means that you have to retake Part 1 (Foundation Level), which consists of 40 multiple-choice questions, and Part 2 (Practitioner Level), which consists of 8 scenario-based, complex multiple-choice questions.
- Tip: Focus on reviewing the core TOGAF 10 principles and ensure you understand the new modular structure, agile integration, and digital transformation principles that are core to the exam.
Scenario 2: Failing Part 1 and Passing Part 2
- If you fail Part 1 (Foundation) but pass Part 2 (Practitioner), you will need to retake Part 1 to obtain the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner certification.
- In this case, you only need to retake Part 1, which is a multiple-choice exam. Part 2 (which is more complex and scenario-based) will remain valid as you only need a pass in both sections to be certified.
Scenario 3: Passing Part 1 and Failing Part 2
- If you pass Part 1 but fail Part 2, you will need to retake only Part 2.
- Given that Part 2 is more challenging with scenario-based questions, it’s a good idea to go over the complex scenarios and real-world examples thoroughly before retaking the exam.
Scenario 4: Passing Both Part 1 and Part 2
- Congratulations! If you pass both Part 1 and Part 2, you will earn the TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Practitioner certification (Level 2). This is the ultimate goal for TOGAF certification, and you can proudly showcase your expertise in enterprise architecture.
