2. Identify how rule elements are organized in Rule Studio.
3. Identify the characteristics and designing of BOM.
4. Identify the characteristics and designing of XOM.
5. Establish BOM to XOM mapping.
6. Orchestrate rule execution.
7. Identify the need for a rule extension model.

Section 2 - Rule Authoring (28%)

1. Given a scenario, determine which rule artifact should be used.
2. Given a scenario, determine which variable (automatic, ruleset, rule) or parameter should be used.
3. Identify the rule editor that should be used.
4. Identify the correct use of BAL language constructs.
5. Identify the correct use of IRL language constructs.
6. Define and improve the verbalization of the rules.
7. Given a scenario, identify which rule authoring configuration is needed.

Section 3 - Rule Execution (21%)

1. Execute rules in Rule Studio.
2. Given a scenario, choose the correct engine algorithm.
3. Debug rule execution.
4. Given a scenario, identify the appropriate rule engine integration strategy.
