A00-231 vs A00-211

[ng11]

Hi, 

Are the multiple choice questions in the SAS A00-231 exam similar if not the same as they were for the A00-211 exam?

Hi @ng11 

So - not really an appropriate question to ask about a certification exam. It isn't really relevant to your preparation, assuming that you are preparing by learning SAS and not trying by to find answers to old exams. Bear in mind that a good SAS community profile can be beneficial to your job search, so consider what types of questions you ask here, keep things positive, and use the community here to help you learn SAS coding. There are great people here only too willing to help you with coding questions.

Given that many of the topics are the same between the old Base Programmer (211) and the new Base Programming Specialist (231), you could expect questions with a similar format and structure, if perchance you happened to have taken the old 211 and remember what those look like. Better yet, use our free A00-231 practice exam to get the best possible representation of the questions, but I recommend only using this resource late in your studies, after you have learned SAS and are making final preparations ahead of your exam.
