How do I prepare for SAS Certified Specialist - Visual Analytics 7.5/8.3 Certification Exam?

ChandrakBachu — Sat, 23 May 2020 10:56:27 GMT

I am planning to take this exam in the next week. I have gone through the below trainings and practising.

1. SAS Visual Analytics Basics

2. SAS Visual Analytics Advanced

I am also using the SAS Visual Analytics 8.3 documentation guide.

Has anyone given this exam? Would be great if someone can give me some tips for clearing this exam. Also is there any practise exam available for this.

Hi:
There is a practice exam listed on the certification web page for this credential exam: https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/credentials/bi-analytics/visual-business-analytics.html and, here's the link for the content guide of what can be on the exam: https://www.sas.com/content/dam/SAS/documents/technical/certification/content-guide/visual-business-analytics.pdf .
Hope this helps,
Cynthia

Hi Cynthia,

What is the difficulty level for this exam. Is the sample questions
provided on the certification page gives an idea of difficulty level of the
actual exam?

Also I am going through the documentation of SAS Visual Analytics 8.3.
Would that be sufficient for preparing for the exam apart from the training
courses?

Hello:

The free practice questions are designed more to give you an understanding of the types of questions and how they are presented. Individually, they may be of similar difficulty, as a whole there are not enough to make a full determination of exam difficulty equivalence. The full practice exam Cynthia mentioned is designed to be as close to the difficulty level of the live exam as possible and would be more of a full representation of the exam experience.

Documentation alone is likely not enough to prepare you for the exam, unless your experience level may make up for not taking the training.

Thanks,
