TOGAF Part 2 Exam
Today I cleared the part 2 exam of TOGAF and clearing it has been a big relief. Was working on Togaf part 1 for almost 6 weeks and couple of more weeks for part 2. Part 2 is little simpler compared to part one is my feeling and if you have worked as software architect it helps further.
On the preparation front, I took the Udemy course by Scott on TOGAF part 2, the course material is about 2 hours. The main takeaway there is how to identify the solution that is irrelevant. There are 4 possible solution to the case scenario, and grading is like 5 for the right one, 3, 1, and 0 for the distractor. The idea is identify the wrong one quickly and they move between them to identify the right one. The exam is an open book and you have know little bit how the material is organized. For practice test, I purchased the sample question from opengroup.org and practiced it couple of time.
Part 2 test has only 8 questions and with 90 minutes to complete, looking at it seems like lot of time, but trust me the time is just sufficient. The main problem is case study question are too long, it take 2- 3 minutes to read and understand the main question. The first paragraph has the background, you can just skim though, rest of it is somewhat relevant. Last 2 paragraphs has the main questions and will tell you what ADM phase is the team trying to attack.
One thing I noticed was the font was not that easy to read in the exam and to refer the pdf, you have to click on the reference button on the exam. That brings the document in the modal form and it does have the table of content when it is launched. You have keep clicking that button every time you launch it. You cannot move the reference document too much to see the question or the solution presented. You have to close the document and then go back to the main page that has the case study question and the solutions. When you launch the reference document again, you have to navigate to your previous tab to see section where you left off. This takes time, each question took around 8-9 minutes for me. I took my own time on last 2 question to be 100% sure. Out of the 8 questions, if you had solved the practice test, there are 4 questions that are easy to crack, but the other 4 are kind of tricky. I clicked final submit 1 minute to close and I passed with decent grade, that I am happy about.
