Within each chapter are “Key Learning Points” and “Summary” sections that help you to easily identify what you need to know for each topic.

Each chapter has “Test Yourself” questions that will help you to test your understanding of the chapter and prepare for the TOGAF 8 Certified Examination. The purpose of these is to reinforce key learning points in the chapter. These are multiple-choice format questions where you must identify one correct answer.

Each chapter also has a “Recommended Reading” section that indicates the relevant sections in the TOGAF 8 document that should be read to obtain a full understanding of the subject material.
