- The OG0-092 booking fee is USD 375 effective February 1, 2026; the retail voucher is USD 400.
- The combined OG0-093 route covers both Part 1 and Part 2 in one 150-minute, 48-question sitting for USD 570.
- You need TOGAF 9 Foundation or a same-day, same-center pass of OG0-091 before sitting OG0-092.
- A failed attempt means paying full price again - there is no discounted retake fee.
2026 Fee Breakdown
Pricing for the TOGAF 9 Part 2 Examination is set by The Open Group and delivered exclusively through Pearson VUE, either at an authorized test center or remotely via OnVUE. Effective February 1, 2026, candidates booking directly through the standard channel pay a USD 375 booking fee, while a retail voucher purchased in advance runs USD 400. The difference reflects how and where you acquire the exam credit - a voucher is a prepaid code you redeem later, whereas the booking fee is paid at the point of scheduling.
There is no separate "member" or "student" discount tier published for this specific exam, so budgeting around these two figures is the safest approach for 2026 planning. If your employer is sponsoring the exam, ask which purchase route their finance team prefers, since voucher codes are often easier to expense in bulk than individual bookings.
What Actually Drives Your Total Cost
The headline fee is only part of the equation. Your real out-of-pocket total depends on three variables: whether you already hold TOGAF 9 Foundation, how many attempts you need, and whether you choose the standalone or combined exam path. Because the exam is open book - an electronic English copy of the TOGAF Standard is reachable during the test - there's no requirement to buy a printed reference, which keeps ancillary costs low compared to some other IT certifications.
Where candidates overspend is usually in underestimating preparation time and then rebooking after a fail. The exam consists of 8 complex scenario-based multiple-choice questions scored on a gradient (5 points for the best answer, 3 for the second-best, 1 for the third-best, 0 for the distractor), with a pass mark of 24 out of a maximum 40 points - 60%. Because each question is weighted so heavily, a single misjudged scenario can meaningfully affect your score. Understanding this scoring mechanic before you sit the exam, covered in detail in our OG0-092 Passing Score guide, is one of the cheapest ways to protect your investment.
Key Takeaway
Because only 8 questions determine your fate, spend your preparation budget on mastering scenario interpretation rather than memorizing terminology - the gradient scoring rewards nuanced judgment over rote recall.
Combined Route vs. Separate Exams
Candidates who haven't yet earned TOGAF 9 Foundation have a financial decision to make: sit OG0-091 (Part 1) and OG0-092 (Part 2) as separate exams, or take the combined OG0-093 exam in one sitting. OG0-093 covers 48 questions across 150 minutes and costs USD 570.
| Route | Format | Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| OG0-091 + OG0-092 separately | Two exams, scheduled independently or same day/center | Varies by Part 1 fee + USD 375-400 for Part 2 | Candidates who want to space out preparation |
| OG0-093 combined | 48 questions, 150 minutes, single sitting | USD 570 | Candidates confident preparing for both bodies of knowledge at once |
The combined route can be more economical if you're disciplined enough to prepare for Level 1 and Level 2 content simultaneously, since it consolidates two separate fees into one. But it also means a single 150-minute session carrying the full weight of your certification outcome - worth weighing against your risk tolerance. For a breakdown of exactly what separates the two levels, see our OG0-092 Requirements guide.
Retake Costs and How to Avoid Them
The Open Group does not publish a discounted retake fee for this exam - a failed attempt means paying the full USD 375 (or USD 400 voucher price) again to rebook. With a 90-minute time limit and only 8 questions standing between you and TOGAF 9 Certified status, treating your first attempt as the only attempt is the most cost-effective mindset.
Extra time is available to candidates sitting an English exam for whom English is not a first language, which is worth requesting in advance if applicable rather than risking a rushed first attempt. Beyond that accommodation, the clock and question count are fixed, so pacing practice matters as much as content mastery.
If you're unsure how difficult the exam actually is relative to your background, our How Hard Is the OG0-092 Exam? guide walks through the specific challenges candidates report, and our OG0-092 Pass Rate article discusses what the available data shows without relying on invented statistics.
Key Takeaway
There's no reduced-price retake for OG0-092 - a second attempt costs the same as the first, so investing extra prep time upfront is almost always cheaper than rebooking.
Language Variants and Regional Pricing
For candidates who prefer to test in a language other than English, The Open Group publishes several localized versions: OG0-095 (Brazilian Portuguese), OG0-097 (Simplified Chinese), OG0-F92 (French), and OG0-S92 (Latin American Spanish). Note that the embedded reference copy of the TOGAF Standard available during the exam is in English regardless of which language variant you sit, so bilingual fluency in architecture terminology remains valuable even if you test in your native language.
Pricing for these variants generally follows the same structure as the English-language exam, though it's worth confirming current fees directly with Pearson VUE at booking time since regional processing or currency conversion can introduce small differences.
Budgeting Study Time Against 26 Domains
Money spent on the exam fee is wasted if your preparation doesn't map to how the exam is actually built. Level 2 content spans 26 learning units and 108 learning outcomes, layered on top of the 13 Level 1 units, all drawn from the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 and formalized in the Conformance Requirements document X1810. Scenario questions cluster heavily around the ADM phase application units - particularly Phases A through F - and some questions deliberately cross multiple units at once, so studying domains in isolation without practicing integration is a common way to waste preparation hours.
Phase A: Architecture Vision
Candidates must interpret stakeholder-driven scenarios where establishing scope, constraints, and vision documents correctly determines the best-scoring answer choice.
- Recognize when a scenario calls for stakeholder management versus vision refinement
Phase B: Business Architecture
Expect scenarios that test your ability to translate business goals into architecture artifacts consistent with the Architecture Content Framework.
- Distinguish business architecture deliverables from downstream data and application artifacts
Phase C: Data and Application Architecture
These two closely related domains are frequently tested together, requiring candidates to separate data-centric decisions from application-centric ones within a single scenario.
- Map metamodel entities correctly to data versus application architecture
Phase D through Phase H
Technology Architecture, Opportunities and Solutions, Migration Planning, Implementation Governance, and Architecture Change Management form the back half of the ADM cycle and are tested for continuity - how decisions in earlier phases constrain later ones.
- Practice tracing a single scenario's decisions across multiple ADM phases
For a full domain-by-domain walkthrough covering all 26 content areas - including Architecture Governance, Business Scenarios Technique, Stakeholder Management, the Technical Reference Model, and the Architecture Skills Framework - our OG0-092 Exam Domains Guide breaks down what each unit demands in more depth than fee planning alone can cover.
Foundational Level 2 Concepts
- Architecture Governance, Architecture Content Framework, TOGAF Content Metamodel
- Preliminary Phase and Business Scenarios Technique
ADM Phases A-F (Highest Question Concentration)
- Phase A Architecture Vision through Phase F Migration Planning
- Practice cross-phase scenario questions specifically
Supporting Techniques and Reference Models
- Technical Reference Model, Integrated Information Infrastructure Reference Model
- Architecture Repository, Partitioning, Requirements Management
Adaptation, Maturity, and Skills Domains
- Guidelines for Adapting the ADM (Iteration and Levels, Security)
- Architecture Maturity Models, Architecture Skills Framework
Full Scenario Simulation
- Timed 90-minute practice runs under the gradient scoring model
- Review pacing so all 8 scenarios get adequate reading time
A structured, week-by-week plan like this - anchored to which domains actually appear most in scenario clusters rather than generic study advice - is exactly what we lay out in full in the OG0-092 Study Guide.
Hidden Costs Beyond the Voucher
Beyond the exam fee itself, a few practical costs are easy to overlook when budgeting for 2026:
- Time off work or study leave to prepare for 26 Level 2 domains on top of your regular workload.
- A quiet, compliant testing environment if you choose OnVUE remote proctoring rather than a physical test center - this isn't a monetary cost but does require planning around your workspace.
- Practice exam access or training resources, since the official TOGAF Standard alone doesn't simulate the scenario-based question format you'll face.
- A potential retake at full price if you underestimate how the gradient scoring model penalizes weak scenario reasoning.
None of these are exotic expenses, but they're the difference between a candidate who budgets USD 375-400 and walks away certified, versus one who ends up paying twice. Reviewing current test window availability early - detailed in our OG0-092 Exam Dates guide - also helps you avoid rush bookings that add stress without adding cost, but planning poorly around dates can still lead to wasted study momentum.
Is the Spend Worth It?
Passing OG0-092 awards the TOGAF 9 Certified qualification, a credential recognized across enterprise architecture roles at organizations that have standardized on The Open Group's ADM-based approach. If you already hold TOGAF 9 Certified status, note that you remain certified indefinitely and can migrate to the 10th Edition portfolio later via the OGEA-10B bridge exam - so your USD 375-400 investment in 2026 isn't rendered obsolete by future standard updates.
Whether the fee represents good value depends heavily on your career context - the roles you're targeting, whether your employer reimburses certification costs, and how the credential fits into your broader architecture practice. We break this down more fully, without resorting to invented salary claims, in Is the OG0-092 Certification Worth It? and OG0-092 Salary Guide 2026.
Before you commit funds, it's worth confirming you actually meet the entry requirements and understand what the credential itself represents - our What Is OG0-092 Certification? and OG0-092 Certification overviews are good starting points if you're still evaluating fit before booking. For candidates specifically weighing this against job market demand, OG0-092 Jobs outlines the kinds of roles that reference this qualification.
If you want to validate your readiness before spending on the official booking fee, working through realistic scenario questions on our practice test platform is one of the lowest-cost ways to gauge whether you're ready to schedule. Running a few timed sessions on the main practice site against the 90-minute limit gives you a realistic sense of pacing before the fee is non-refundable.
