Base SAS certification exam last date

When is the absolute last date that you can take the SAS Certified Base Programmer for SAS 9 exam? I saw that it says it will not be available after June 2019, but I'm wondering if I can still take it in the month of June.

It says until END of June. But why would you want to go for an "old" cert if it gets replaced by a new one?

One additional comment. The new performance-based exam for the SAS Certified Specialist: Base Programming for SAS 9.4 is already available. We are running the new Base Programming for SAS 9.4 and the current Base Programmer for SAS 9 in parallel until June 30. Candidates can choose which exam is right for them. Any questions, drop us a line at certification@sas.com.
