- Booking fee is USD 375 (retail voucher USD 400) effective February 1, 2026.
- The electronic TOGAF Standard 9.2 is embedded via the Reference button - no hardcopy allowed.
- Scenario questions concentrate on ADM Phases A through F, sometimes crossing multiple units.
Exam Format Snapshot
Before you memorize a single learning outcome, lock in the mechanics of the exam itself. OG0-092, the TOGAF 9 Part 2 Examination, is owned and governed by The Open Group and delivered through Pearson VUE - either at an authorized test center or remotely via OnVUE. It is not a long exam by volume of questions, but it is dense: eight complex scenario-based multiple-choice items, 90 minutes on the clock, open-book with the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 built into the testing interface.
Candidates who are sitting an English-language exam and for whom English is not a first language may be eligible for additional time. Because there are only eight questions, each one carries significant weight - there is no room to "throw away" a question the way you might on a 60-item multiple-choice test. For a broader breakdown of how this format compares in difficulty to other professional certifications, see How Hard Is the OG0-092 Exam? Complete Difficulty Guide 2026.
Registration & Fees
Effective February 1, 2026, the exam booking fee for OG0-092 is USD 375, while a retail voucher (purchased in advance, sometimes bundled with training) runs USD 400. The prerequisite for sitting OG0-092 is either holding TOGAF 9 Foundation already, or passing the TOGAF 9 Part 1 exam (OG0-091) on the same day at the same test center. This same-day option matters for scheduling: if you plan to take both parts back-to-back, your booking and time-off plans need to account for two exams in one sitting.
Passing OG0-092 awards the TOGAF 9 Certified qualification. If you're weighing the full cost picture - vouchers, potential retakes, training materials - the detailed numbers are laid out in OG0-092 Certification Cost 2026: Complete Pricing Breakdown, and the exact eligibility rules are covered in OG0-092 Requirements 2026: Eligibility, Prerequisites & How to Qualify.
Key Takeaway
Confirm your prerequisite status (Foundation certificate or same-day OG0-091 pass) before you book - this is a hard gate, not a suggestion.
All 26 Domains at a Glance
The Level 2 body of knowledge builds on the 13 Level 1 units with 26 learning units and 108 learning outcomes, all drawn from the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2, and formally scoped in the Conformance Requirements document X1810. Here is the full domain list you're accountable for on exam day:
Domain 1: Preliminary Phase
Sets up the architecture capability, principles, and framework tailoring before any ADM cycle begins.
- Understand how principles get established and later applied in scenarios
Domain 4: Phase A - Architecture Vision
Scoping, stakeholder identification, and the Statement of Architecture Work.
- Heavily tested in scenario form - expect vision-stage decision points
Domain 9: Phase B - Business Architecture
Business capabilities, value streams, and organizational mapping feeding downstream architecture work.
- Know how business architecture artifacts connect to Phase C decisions
Domains 10-11: Phase C - Data & Application Architecture
Two distinct but related domains covering information systems architecture from both data and application angles.
- Watch for questions that blend data and application concerns in one scenario
Domain 14: Phase D - Technology Architecture
Technology components, platforms, and their relationship to the Technical Reference Model.
- Cross-reference with Domain 12 (TRM) and Domain 13 (III-RM)
The remaining domains - Architecture Governance, Business Scenarios Technique, Stakeholder Management, Content Framework, Content Metamodel, Implementation Support Techniques, Migration Planning Techniques, Phases E through H, Requirements Management, Partitioning, Repository, Adapting the ADM (Iteration/Levels and Security), Maturity Models, and the Skills Framework - round out the full 26. A unit-by-unit walkthrough of every one of these, including sample scenario angles, is available in OG0-092 Exam Domains 2026: Complete Guide to All 26 Content Areas.
Gradient Scoring Mechanics
OG0-092's scoring model is the single most important mechanical detail to internalize. Each of the eight questions offers four answer options ranked by quality:
- Best answer: 5 points
- Second-best answer: 3 points
- Third-best answer: 1 point
- Distractor: 0 points
With 8 questions worth up to 5 points each, the maximum score is 40 points, and you need 24 or more - 60% - to pass. This means partial credit exists: choosing the second-best answer on several questions can still add up to a pass, but it's a fragile strategy. The safer approach is training yourself to distinguish "correct and complete" from "correct but incomplete" or "correct but not the most appropriate given the scenario constraints." Exact numeric breakdowns and worked examples of how points accumulate toward the pass mark are covered in OG0-092 Passing Score 2026: Exactly What You Need to Pass.
Key Takeaway
Read every answer option as "how well does this fit the scenario's stated constraints," not "is this a true TOGAF statement." All four options are usually technically true - only one is the best fit.
Open Book & Reference Rules
OG0-092 is open book, but with a specific and narrow definition of what "open" means. An electronic English-language copy of the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 is embedded directly into the exam interface and reached via the Reference button during the test. No hardcopy material of any kind is permitted in physical test centers, and no external documents, notes, or personal copies are allowed even if you're testing remotely through OnVUE.
The practical implication: don't plan on "looking everything up." With only 90 minutes for 8 scenario-heavy questions, you don't have time to search the reference document cold for every unfamiliar term. Use the embedded standard to confirm details you already recognize - verifying an ADM phase input/output, checking exact terminology for a Content Metamodel entity - not to learn concepts you never studied.
High-Yield ADM Phases
Scenario questions cluster heavily around the ADM phase application units - particularly Phases A through F - and examiners deliberately write some questions that draw across multiple units at once. That clustering should directly shape your revision priorities.
- Phase A (Architecture Vision): stakeholder scoping and the Statement of Architecture Work
- Phase B (Business Architecture): business capability mapping tied to governance decisions
- Phase C (Data & Application Architecture): two domains, frequently blended in a single scenario
- Phase D (Technology Architecture): platform decisions linked to the Technical Reference Model
- Phase E (Opportunities and Solutions) and Phase F (Migration Planning): transition architectures and implementation factor assessment
Because questions "draw across multiple units at once," you should never study a phase in isolation. A Phase D scenario might quietly test whether you also understand Architecture Governance checkpoints or Stakeholder Management concerns introduced earlier in the same narrative. Build your review around phase transitions, not phase silos - a mindset covered in more depth in OG0-092 Study Guide 2026: How to Pass on Your First Attempt.
Final Week Review Timeline
If your foundational study is done and you're in the last stretch before exam day, sequence your remaining time around where the scenario weight actually falls rather than reviewing all 26 domains equally.
Phases A-C Deep Review
- Rework Architecture Vision, Business Architecture, and both Phase C domains (Data and Application)
- Practice distinguishing best-vs-second-best answers on vision and business scenarios
Phases D-F and Reference Models
- Cover Technology Architecture alongside the Technical Reference Model and III-RM domains
- Study Migration Planning Techniques and Phase F transition architecture logic
Governance, Content, and Support Domains
- Review Architecture Governance, Content Framework, Content Metamodel, and Repository
- Don't skip Adapting the ADM (Iteration/Levels and Security) - these show up in cross-domain scenarios
Timed Practice & Reference Navigation
- Run full 90-minute timed scenario sets to build stamina against the gradient-scoring format
- Practice locating sections in the TOGAF 9.2 standard via the Reference button quickly
You can run this exact sequence against realistic scenario-style questions using the practice platform on the OG0-092 Exam Prep home page, which mirrors the eight-question, gradient-scored format so you're not surprised by the structure on test day.
