About base exam

I am planning to take Programming Associate/Base Programming Specialist. I am confused whether INFILE/ARRAY/INPUT statement included in the exam. I check the exam guide, there is nothing related it. But when I do the practice questions, there are some related it. Thanks so much.

Where are you getting your practice questions from? SAS changed the exam structure last year (July?), perhaps the material hasn't been updated to match.

In my experience, sample size of 1, the test holds true to the exam guide. While knowing other things is cool and useful in real application, I suggest you will not see extraneous stuff on the test.
