Hi. I have no idea what the instruction is saying... I use SAS Ondemand, and I created cert file in Home. What else should I do to get the data for practice exam?

Where is cert.input04. file??? I am so confused and have no idea... where can I find the data???

I created folder, but nothing is in there. I am not understanding the concept of this practice exam.. please help me.

Is it possible you're missing a step prior to this somewhere? Are you sure there wasn't a SAS program somewhere you need to run first?

I really think there's some setup instructions somewhere.

Maybe @Cynthia_sas can assist? I don't have access to these materials.

Hi,

@Reeza is correct, there are setup instructions. When you first open the Practice Exam link, you see the Virtual Lab on the right side of the page. You can practice there without doing any setup (you do have to click Create User first) -- here's what that looks like:

Then, at the place I've highlighted in GREEN, there is a PDF link entitled: Accessing SAS and Setting up Files for this Practice Exam (Required) and if you click to open the PDF, you will see a link for a ZIP file and explicit instructions for SAS OnDemand for Academics, as shown below:

The instructions start at the bottom of page 1 and continue on page 2. This is how you populate the CERT folder on SAS OnDemand for Academics.
