My only experience is with the original SAS materials. So, sorry that I don't have an answer to your question. But I can recommend the free SAS Practise exams:&nbsp;<A href="https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/resources/sas-practice-exams.html" target="_blank">https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/resources/sas-practice-exams.html</A></P> <P>Last year I took the&nbsp;<SPAN class="xsmall-txt-light"><A href="https://support.sas.com/edu/viewmyelearn.html?activationCode=FAEADVPET" target="_blank">Advanced Programming Using SAS 9.4 Performance-Based Exam</A></SPAN>&nbsp;after I had done the practise exam Mark refers to in his answer. And I found it very helpful.&nbsp;</P> Sat, 29 Nov 2025 16:38:55 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Certification/How-to-access-datasets-for-SAS-Advanced-Programming-practice/m-p/979719#M1896 MarkusWeick 2025-11-29T16:38:55Z Re: How to access datasets for SAS Advanced Programming practice using SAS OnDemand? https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Certification/How-to-access-datasets-for-SAS-Advanced-Programming-practice/m-p/979721#M1897 <P>Hi&nbsp;<a href="https://communities.sas.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/401244">@MarkusWeick</a>&nbsp;</P> <P>Great!
