Take My Open FAIR Exam

What Open FAIR Actually Tests

Open FAIR is the Open Group certification for cyber-risk quantification — the framework that expresses risk in financial terms the business understands, instead of red-amber-green heat maps. The exams test the Open FAIR Body of Knowledge built on two standards: the Risk Analysis (O-RA) Standard and the Risk Taxonomy (O-RT) Standard.

There are two current exams, and they are not interchangeable. The Open FAIR Part 1 Exam (OG0-041) leads to the Open FAIR Foundation certification: 80 simple multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes, passing at 70%. The Open FAIR 2 Foundation Exam (OGOF-101) leads to the Open FAIR 2 Foundation certification: 40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes, passing at 60%. Both are supervised, closed book, and carry no prerequisites — and passing either also banks partial credit toward a future Level 2 qualification.

Foundation certifications from The Open Group do not expire, so one sitting covers the credential for good. The exams summary also notes that additional time may be provided if you are taking an English-language exam and English is not your first language.

The structural facts are fixed by The Open Group and worth restating as one canonical block: the Open FAIR Part 1 Exam (OG0-041) is 80 simple multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes, closed book, with a 70% pass score (56 of 80) and no prerequisites; the Open FAIR 2 Foundation Exam (OGOF-101) is 40 multiple-choice questions in 60 minutes with a 60% pass score (24 of 40); Foundation certifications do not expire; and the fee schedule effective February 1, 2026 lists OG0-041 at USD 375 exam booking (USD 400 retail voucher) and OGOF-101 at USD 405 booking (USD 435 voucher).

Test Center or OnVUE at Home — Your Choice

The Open Group's exams summary states the delivery route for both exams in the same sentence: delivered at Authorized Examination Provider Test Centers and remotely by OnVUE delivery. OnVUE is Pearson VUE's online-proctored, at-home route, and The Open Group publishes a Pearson VUE at-home advice sheet for candidates who take that path.

Budget the appointment window, not just the exam clock. The Open Group notes the provider's total appointment typically runs about 15 minutes longer than the exam time to cover registration, the tutorial, and a survey — 80 questions in 120 minutes means the Part 1 sitting occupies roughly a 135-minute slot.

Pearson's standard published OnVUE minimums apply to the at-home route: one display, a stable connection at 6 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up or better, webcam, microphone and speaker with no headphones, and every other application closed, with virtual machines, VPNs, and secondary or touchscreen displays prohibited and a room scan at check-in. Run the System Test on the same device and network you will use on exam day - it is the cheapest insurance on a USD 375 sitting.

What the Exam Costs

The Open Group's retail fee schedule, applicable from February 1, 2026, lists the Open FAIR Part 1 Exam at USD 375 as an exam booking fee or USD 400 as a retail voucher, and the Open FAIR 2 Foundation Exam at USD 405 booking or USD 435 voucher. Examinations are priced in USD, and local taxes may apply depending on your country or region.

One legitimate way the fee comes down: Accredited Training Courses include the exam as part of the course fee — the course provider hands you a voucher code for the public test center route. If you are paying cash at booking, you pay the Examination Provider directly at the time of booking.

Where Open FAIR Attempts Go Wrong

Pattern one is the wrong-register trap: Open FAIR quantifies risk in financial terms, and candidates who prepared with qualitative heat-map habits stall on questions that expect the Risk Taxonomy (O-RT) structure and the Risk Analysis (O-RA) model's factor chain.

Pattern two is the exam-choice mix-up: OG0-041 is 80 simple multiple-choice questions in 120 minutes at a 70% pass score (56 of 80), while OGOF-101 is 40 questions in 60 minutes at 60% (24 of 40) - preparing the wrong exam's cadence leaves the clock mismanaged on the day.

Pattern three is logistical: an unmet OnVUE minimum - a second monitor, headphones within reach, a VPN on the network - forfeits a USD 375 sitting before the first question, and the appointment window runs about 15 minutes longer than the exam clock for registration, tutorial, and survey.

• •Heat-map habits: Open FAIR is a taxonomy and analysis method built on the O-RA and O-RT standards — candidates who answer from generic risk-matrix intuition misclassify frequency, magnitude, and the loss-event chain.
• •Wrong exam assumption: Part 1 (OG0-041) is 80 questions at 70% while 2 Foundation (OGOF-101) is 40 questions at 60%; walking in with the wrong exam's pacing plan burns the clock.
• •Closed-book reality: both exams are supervised and closed book, so taxonomy terms that were 'look-up-able' during study must be instant on exam day.
• •Voucher confusion: course-included vouchers and retail vouchers are different purchases with different prices ($375/$400 for Part 1, $405/$435 for 2 Foundation) — mixing them up delays the booking, not the exam.

What You Get

Safety and Discretion

Coordination stays private on WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord. We do not ask for your Pearson VUE account password, and we never reuse identity documents. Official exam fees stay on your card; the service fee settles only after the agreed result posts.

One boundary stated plainly: we do not promise a specific percentage, even though The Open Group publishes 70% and 60% as the passing marks. We promise the fee follows the result, never precedes it.
