Three of the 30 questions in this pack
Question 1
What is an external active structure element that represents a point of access where one or more services are provided to the environment?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. An interface
An interface is an external active structure element in ArchiMate that represents a point of access where one or more services are provided to the environment. Interfaces are used to model how services are exposed and accessed by external actors, serving as the connection point between internal system behavior and external consumers.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. A collaboration represents a temporary grouping of elements to achieve a common purpose, not a point of access for services.
- B. An interaction describes the communication or exchange between elements, not a structural access point.
- D. A capability represents an ability or competency to perform work, not a point of access where services are provided.
Question 2
Which of the following is a composite element?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Grouping
In ArchiMate, a composite element is an element that can contain other elements. Grouping is the primary composite element that allows multiple elements to be collected and organized together. Aggregation and composition are relationships rather than composite elements themselves, and a contract is a specialized element but not a composite container.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Aggregation is a relationship type, not a composite element.
- C. Course of Action is a behavior element, not a composite container.
- D. Contract is a specialized element type, not a composite element.
Question 3
What relationship is allowed from a technology function to an application function?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Assignment
A technology function can be assigned to support an application function, establishing an assignment relationship. This reflects how technology infrastructure provides support for application capabilities. Realization describes how elements implement or manifest behavior, aggregation describes part-whole relationships, and influence describes indirect effects, none of which are the primary allowed relationship type from technology to application functions.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Realization is not the typical relationship from technology functions to application functions.
- C. Aggregation describes composition relationships, not the support relationship between technology and application.
- D. Influence is too weak and indirect for the direct support relationship between these function types.

What makes the OGA-031 hard
OGA-031 is the Foundation exam for the ArchiMate modelling language, the notation that TOGAF architects use to draw what the ADM describes. It is short and closed book: 40 questions in 60 minutes with 24 correct to pass, and it tests whether candidates know the language precisely, which elements exist in each layer, which relationships are permitted between them, and what the symbols mean.
The Level 1 syllabus covers the language structure and the generic metamodel: active structure, behaviour and passive structure elements, the layered framework across Business, Application and Technology, the motivation and strategy aspects, and the physical, implementation and migration extensions. Relationships are where most marks are lost: structural relationships such as composition, aggregation, assignment and realisation, dependency relationships such as serving, access, influence and association, dynamic relationships such as triggering and flow, plus specialisation, junctions, and the derivation rules that decide whether a relationship can exist between two elements.
The rest is layer-by-layer content: business actors, roles, processes, functions and services; application components, interfaces and services; technology nodes, devices, system software and networks; the motivation elements from stakeholder and driver through goal, outcome, principle and requirement; and the strategy elements of resource, capability, value stream and course of action. Several questions show a diagram fragment and ask what is wrong with it, so it pays to practise drawing the notation, not just reading about it.

Going through The Open Group OGA-031 seemed to be quite tough one until I came across this website. I took the exam after going through the material available at Cert Stash and scored 95% marks. After passing it, I got a very good job.
