OG0-092 Pass Rate 2026: What the Data Shows

Why There's No Official OG0-092 Pass Rate

If you've searched for a hard percentage - "X% of candidates pass OG0-092" - you've probably noticed that no such figure exists in any Open Group publication. The Open Group, which owns and governs the TOGAF 9 Part 2 Examination and delivers it through Pearson VUE, does not release aggregate pass/fail statistics for OG0-092. That's a deliberate policy choice, not an oversight, and it applies across most Open Group certification exams.

This creates a problem for anyone trying to gauge their odds before booking a seat. Rather than quoting a number that doesn't exist - or worse, borrowing a statistic from an unrelated certification that happens to share the "OG0-092" exam code pattern used by other vendors - the more useful approach is to look at what is documented: the scoring mechanism itself. The mechanics of how points are awarded and what threshold counts as a pass tell you far more about your realistic chances than a headline percentage ever could.

The Number That Actually Matters: 24 of 40

OG0-092 consists of 8 complex scenario-based multiple-choice questions. Each question is scored using a gradient model rather than simple right/wrong marking, and the maximum possible score across all 8 questions is 40 points. The pass mark is 60%, which translates to 24 or more points.

That's a tighter margin than it might first appear. With only 8 questions on the entire exam, each one is worth up to 5 points - meaning a single misjudged scenario has an outsized effect on your final score compared to exams with 40 or 60 questions where individual items barely move the needle. Understanding this arithmetic before exam day is arguably more valuable than any published pass rate would be, because it tells you exactly what margin of error you're working with.

How Gradient Scoring Changes Your Odds

Unlike a standard multiple-choice format, OG0-092 uses gradient scoring: the best answer earns 5 points, the second-best answer earns 3, the third-best earns 1, and the distractor earns 0. This means partial credit is genuinely possible - you don't need to identify the single "perfect" answer to salvage points on a question, provided you can at least rule out the distractor.

But gradient scoring cuts both ways. It rewards nuanced understanding of TOGAF terminology and phase sequencing, but it also punishes candidates who memorize surface-level definitions without grasping how concepts interact across ADM phases. Many candidates who feel confident walking out of the exam center are surprised when their result comes back below 24, because they consistently landed on the 3-point "second-best" answer rather than the 5-point correct one. That gap - between "plausible" and "correct" - is where most points are actually lost.

Where Points Are Won or Lost: Domain Clustering

With only 8 questions covering material drawn from 26 Level 2 learning units and 108 learning outcomes, not every domain gets equal representation on any given exam form. Scenario questions cluster heavily around the ADM phase application units - particularly Domain 4: Phase A: Architecture Vision, Domain 9: Phase B: Business Architecture, the two Phase C domains (Data Architecture and Application Architecture), Domain 14: Phase D: Technology Architecture, and Domain 17: Phase F: Migration Planning. Some questions are deliberately written to draw across multiple units at once, meaning a single scenario might require you to apply knowledge from Stakeholder Management and Architecture Governance simultaneously.

This clustering pattern is one of the most actionable pieces of information a candidate can use when allocating study time, because it tells you where the highest concentration of scoring opportunity sits relative to the 26 total domains.

For a complete breakdown of all 26 domains - including the lower-frequency but still testable areas like Architecture Maturity Models and the Architecture Skills Framework - the OG0-092 Exam Domains 2026: Complete Guide to All 26 Content Areas maps every content area against the Level 1 and Level 2 syllabus structure.

The Prerequisite Gate That Filters Candidates

One factor that shapes who actually sits OG0-092 - and therefore what any hypothetical pass rate would even measure - is the prerequisite structure. You cannot book OG0-092 as a standalone exam unless you already hold TOGAF 9 Foundation, or you pass the TOGAF 9 Part 1 exam (OG0-091) on the same day at the same test center. This gate means the pool of people sitting Part 2 has already demonstrated Level 1 foundational knowledge, which naturally shifts the difficulty conversation away from "do I know TOGAF basics" toward "can I apply ADM phases to complex scenarios under gradient scoring."

If you're still confirming whether you meet this requirement, the OG0-092 Requirements 2026: Eligibility, Prerequisites & How to Qualify article walks through the same-day, same-center rule in detail.

2026 Fee Structure and What It Signals

Effective February 1, 2026, the OG0-092 exam booking fee is USD 375, with a retail voucher priced at USD 400. This fee sits alongside a 90-minute time limit (with extended time available for candidates sitting an English exam who are not first-language English speakers) and an open-book format: an electronic English copy of the TOGAF Standard, Version 9.2 is embedded in the exam interface via a Reference button. No hardcopy material is permitted in physical test centers.

The open-book element is worth pausing on, because it changes what "difficulty" even means for this exam. You're not being tested on memorization of every clause in the TOGAF Standard - you're being tested on whether you can locate and apply the right guidance fast enough within 90 minutes while reasoning through an 8-question gradient-scored format.

OG0-092 Alone vs. the OG0-093 Combined Route

Some candidates choose to sit Part 1 and Part 2 together as OG0-093, a combined exam priced at USD 570 covering 48 questions across 150 minutes. Others prefer to pass OG0-091 first and then book OG0-092 separately (subject to the same-day, same-center rule, or by holding prior Foundation certification). Neither route changes the underlying pass mark logic for the Part 2 portion - the 60% threshold and gradient scoring model described above still apply to the Part 2 content within either path.

Language variants of the Part 2 content also exist for non-English candidates, including OG0-095 (Brazilian Portuguese), OG0-097 (Simplified Chinese), OG0-F92 (French), and OG0-S92 (Latin American Spanish) - though the electronic reference material embedded via the Reference button is provided in English regardless of exam language variant.

Building a Study Plan Around the Scoring Model

Given that no official pass rate exists, the most defensible way to prepare is to reverse-engineer a study plan from the scoring structure itself: 8 questions, 40 points, heavy clustering around Phases A-F, and an open-book format that rewards application over recall. A short, focused review cycle mapped to the highest-density domains tends to outperform an unfocused pass through all 26 units in equal measure.

For a more granular week-by-week plan tied to first-attempt success, the OG0-092 Study Guide 2026: How to Pass on Your First Attempt expands each of these weeks into daily tasks. And if you're still weighing whether the scenario format described above matches your comfort level, How Hard Is the OG0-092 Exam? Complete Difficulty Guide 2026 addresses the difficulty question directly, independent of any pass-rate assumptions.

You can also build familiarity with the gradient-scoring pattern by running through scenario-style questions on our OG0-092 practice test platform before exam day, since seeing how 5-point, 3-point, and 1-point answers are typically constructed is more instructive than reading about the format in the abstract. A second pass through timed practice sets closer to your exam date helps confirm whether your 90-minute pacing across 8 questions is realistic.
