I am going to through Pega Academy LSA & SSA Courses daily and practicing them. I need to attempt Part 2 in coming 4 months (may be April, 2017).
I am wondering that below topics are needed in Part2 or not. Do I need to practice these concepts or not.
JMS Integration, Distributed Transactions, Single Sign On, External Authorization, Parallel development (multiple branches), Next Best Action.
Writing Custom Controls, Writing Java steps (if OOTB is not supported). 

Your guidance is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
