TOGAF 9 Foundation Practice Test

No, prior experience is not a formal requirement. The exam is designed to test foundational knowledge of the framework itself. However, some conceptual understanding of IT or business processes can be helpful for contextualizing the material. Many successful candidates are new to the field and use this exam as their entry point.

The single most authoritative resource is the official TOGAF 9 documentation, specifically the 'TOGAF Version 9.1' book (Parts I and II). Accredited training courses and study guides from reputable providers are also highly effective, as they distill the vast content into exam-focused material. Practice tests are invaluable for familiarizing yourself with the question format.

The Foundation level tests knowledge and comprehension of the framework's concepts and structure. The Certified level builds on this, testing the ability to analyze and apply the framework in practical scenarios. Foundation is a prerequisite for achieving the Certified designation through the combined exam path, or it can be taken as a standalone credential.

The exam is typically 40 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 60 minutes. The passing score is 55% (22 correct answers out of 40). It is a closed-book exam.

The TOGAF 9 Foundation certification does not expire. It is a lifetime credential. However, The Open Group maintains updated versions of TOGAF (e.g., TOGAF Standard, 10th Edition), so professionals often pursue newer certifications to stay current.
