100+ Free TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Foundation Practice Questions

OGEA-101 is The Open Group's Level 1 foundation credential of the TOGAF certification portfolio. It validates recall and basic comprehension of TOGAF Standard 10th Edition terminology, the Architecture Development Method (ADM), the four architecture domains, governance, the Content Framework, the Enterprise Continuum, and the Architecture Repository. It is the standard entry exam for Enterprise Architects, and a prerequisite knowledge base for the OGEA-103 Practitioner credential.

OGEA-101 (TOGAF Enterprise Architecture Foundation) is broad — it covers all four architecture domains (Business, Data, Application, Technology) and the full ADM at a foundation level. OGBA-101 (TOGAF Business Architecture Foundation) is the deep-dive Foundation-level cert for the Business domain — capability maps, value streams, organization mapping, information mapping, business models. Both are Foundation level; OGEA-101 is the generalist starting point, OGBA-101 is the Business Architecture specialist starting point.

TOGAF 10 (April 2022) restructured the Standard into modular Fundamental Content plus a much larger TOGAF Library of Series Guides — replacing the single-book TOGAF 9.2 structure. Business Architecture, EA Capability, Open Agile Architecture, Security, and Sustainability were promoted into dedicated Series Guides. The ADM itself is unchanged — same 10 phases (Preliminary, A-H, plus Requirements Management). OGEA-101 tests the TOGAF 10 Standard.

40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes (90 minutes if English is not your native language); passing score is 60% (24 correct). Closed-book, no negative marking. Distributed across syllabus topic areas covering basic concepts, terminology, ADM introduction, each ADM phase, techniques and guidelines, governance, content framework, the Enterprise Continuum, and the EA Capability. Delivered at Pearson VUE test centers and via OnVUE remote proctoring.

Per The Open Group's exam fee schedule effective from February 2026, OGEA-101 costs USD $375 (retail voucher) or USD $400 (Pearson booking fee). Accredited training providers may bundle exam vouchers with their courses at a discount. There is no application fee — just the exam fee, and a retake fee if you do not pass on the first attempt and did not buy a retake-included voucher.

Foundation-level — well-prepared candidates pass on the first attempt at high rates (industry estimates ~75-85%). The challenge is in TOGAF 10 terminology and concept distinctions: ABB vs SBB, view vs viewpoint, deliverable vs artifact, Statement of Architecture Work (Phase A) vs Architecture Contract (Phase G), and remembering each ADM phase's distinctive outputs. Plan for 30-60 hours of study, with at least one full read of the TOGAF 10 Fundamental Content plus 100+ practice questions.

Yes — TOGAF certifications carry lifetime validity, including OGEA-101. There is no recertification or continuing education requirement. When the TOGAF Standard is updated to a future edition, The Open Group typically offers a bridging exam so existing credential holders can update without retaking the full exam.

OGEA-101 first if you are a generalist Enterprise Architect, plan to pursue OGEA-103 Practitioner, or want a broad TOGAF foundation. OGBA-101 first if you are specifically a Business Architecture practitioner — bridging strategy and execution, designing capability maps and value streams. Many practitioners eventually hold both for breadth + depth.
