Hi:
The Programming 1 and Statistics 1 classes are both free to any independent learner and they have demos that you can repeat and practices that you can do. These 2 classes cover the features of Base SAS procedures and simple DATA step programming and ANOVA, Linear Regression and Logistic Regression. Assuming those are some of the topics on your upcoming exam, if you have not yet activated your access to these classes, they would be a good place to start.
We also offer Certification Prep Guides, for the Base Programming Specialist, Advanced Programming Professional and Statistical Business Analyst certification exams. The Prep Guides also have questions that you can use to practice.
You can also try with some of the Forum questions, looking at some of the older questions that have been marked as solved, especially where the question and/or solution provided you with a final program that was marked as correct. If the posting has data or uses SASHELP data, then that would be a program that you can practice with.
Another good source of reference and practice material can be found at www.lexjansen.com, which is an archive of over 30,000 user group papers. Of course, there are going to be a LOT of papers that are not relevant to you. But if you search for specific topics or procedures, usually there's enough in the paper to get you started and many papers will give you a link about where you can find the data they used for their programs.
The SAS documentation is another good location for programs. The examples in the documentation are not problem-oriented, but you can see the sample program and typically, they provide the data used for the program or they tell you where to get the data so you can replicate the program. the nice thing about the documentation is that they either show you the program and explain the results or they show the program, function or statement and provide a good usage example for you to experiment with.
To find the free online programs, go here: https://www.sas.com/en_us/training/offers/free-training.html and either click through the carousel of classes until you find Programming 1 or Statistics 1 or else click the link to view all the free classes.
And, I would be remiss if I didn't also recommend that you ask your instructor whether they have any extra practice problems they can provide to you.
