Background
Hi Guys , A few weeks back I passed my TOGAF 9 combined Level 1 and 2
Enterprise Architecture Certification and I thought it would be useful to share my
experience of the exam and hopefully it will help you in your preparation if/when you
decide to go that way.
Please be aware that the information provided in this article purely reflects my point
of vew with regard to preparation for the TOGAF 9 certification.

course. This, however, can be a little daunting as well as the TOGAF preparation
material can seem very dry and a lot to go through( Specially the guide book).
Once you are done with the course (and even otherwise) its slightly tough to decide
where to begin from. Every body prepares differently but my suggestion is as follows
:1. Before you start with the in-depth preparation its important to understand a very
high level picture of what TOGAF actually is otherwise it would be easy to get
overwhelmed when you are going through the detailed chapters. This could be
recalling basics from your own course or may be see this 10- part youtube video
few times which I found very useful . http://www.youtube.com

2. Next would be to read chapter 1 & 2 from the guide book few times to get overall
picture clarity in your mind. Make yourself a picture or keep a printout of a
high-level diagram from Chapter 1 and when later on you read each chapter
remind yourself which area in the overall picture is this chapter related to.
3. Now at this time when you are ready to take a deep-dive , keep handy a printout
for the chapter 7 for the official conformance requirements guide ( link below ).
Read 7.1 to understand the format of entries later and then 7.2 section goes in
great detail whether a section in a chapter in official TOGAF Guide book( G091)
is covered in Level 1 ( closed book simple multiple choice test ) or Level 2 (
Open Book complex scenario questions ). This detailed information is available
for all the 52 chapters in the official guide book. Keep referring to this 7.2
chapter in conformance requirement whilst going through the study guide. This
way you can easily eliminate whats definitely not covered in the exam.

Another very helpful source to keep handy for revision is the pocket guide. In fact
everything that will be asked in Level 1 is roughly covered or mentioned in the pocket
guide so its a decent source of Level 1 test preparation if you are short on time. If
you want to buy the Pocket guide https://www2.opengroup.org/ogsys/jsp/publications
