About

ArchiMate 3.2 Practice

Read full description

AI-coached preparation for The Open Group's ArchiMate 3 certification — the modelling language enterprise architects use to describe business, application and technology in one coherent model. AN AI TUTOR THAT RUNS ON YOUR IPHONE Ask anything about ArchiMate 3.2 and get a short, cited answer in seconds. It runs entirely on-device through Apple Intelligence, so it works with no internet and — unlike every cloud chatbot — nothing you type ever leaves your phone. No account on someone else's server, no training on your questions. Requires iPhone 15 Pro or newer with Apple Intelligence enabled. On other devices the app says so plainly and everything else works normally. ARCHIMATE IS VISUAL, SO THE TRAINING IS VISUAL • Diagram exercises: a real model is drawn on screen and you tap the relationship that is not permitted. You have to read the line style and the markers — exactly what the exam asks of you. • Pinch to zoom any diagram, because the difference between a filled and a hollow diamond is the whole answer. • A notation reference that opens with the pairs that actually cost marks: specialization against realization, composition against aggregation, triggering against flow. 361 QUESTIONS, ALL 12 TOPICS Core Framework & Layers, Generic Metamodel, Relationships, Motivation, Strategy, Business, Application, Technology, Physical Elements, Implementation & Migration, Views & Viewpoints, and Cross-Layer Alignment. Every question carries a written explanation and a reference to the relevant part of the specification, so you can check it against your own copy. New questions arrive without an app update. EARN THE STARS Every topic is worth three: one for passing, one for a run with no wrong answers, one for doing it at pace. Three is deliberately hard. The progress ladder shows every topic at a glance, so what is unfinished is never a mystery. FREE AND PRO Every topic, every question, the diagram exercises and the notation reference are FREE, with a daily question limit. Pro removes the limit and adds mock exams, browsing a whole topic with citations, and full AI tutor access. 7-day free trial. • Pro Monthly — $19.99 per month • Pro Yearly — $99.99 per year HONEST ABOUT THE CONTENT Every question is written in original language. We never quote The Open Group's specification verbatim. Each answer carries a full explanation and a section reference so you can verify it for yourself. This app teaches ArchiMate 3.2, which is what the current ArchiMate 3 certification examines.
