Reading the TOGAF Book
First, read the TOGAF v9 book, available here: http://www.opengroup.org/architecture/togaf9-doc/arch/
The first exam is really about how much of the TOGAF materials you can memorize. The book is the best source for this information but you really must read the entire book, not just parts. The exam references specific pieces and examples from the different sections of the book.

A lot of the questions on the exam had to do with choosing which of the answers was not included as an objective of a particular Phase of the ADM (Architecture Development Method).
