Hello @thewadeng  Please refer to the comments below:

• Will the exam cover anything related to Federal Audience Composition. I don't believe that it is mentioned in the Exam Prep Guide, but sticks out as something to at least be aware of?
  - No, Federal Audience Composition won't be covered in exam. However, there could be question related to audience composition feature of segmentation. Like how the data is enriched and ranked and steps involved 
• What are the best practices around determining when to use a certain type of segmentation over the other?
  - The type of segmentation used totally depends on the use case. If a data is to be used real time then use Edge/Streaming segmentation else Batch. Also, once should consider the guardrails around the segmentation types. For some use cases it is best to divide the logic between batch and streaming segments and use segment of segments conditions.
  Refer to this doc: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-platform/segmentation/home#advanced-segmentati...
  https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/platform-learn/getting-started-for-data-architects-and-da...
  
  
• When it comes to scenario based questions on the exam that cover a specific type of connector, should we focus on learning about some of the more used connectors?
  - The exam will cover HTTP API streaming source, Cloud Storage like S3, SFTP and Data coming from Edge Services.
