I have spent the past month reviewing all of the functions needed for the test, taken the free practice exams, and completed the SaS Programming 1 Essentials course plus the associated practice materials for it. I want to know what else I should/can review to make sure I'm fully prepared. I have about another month before the test.

Thanks for your question. It sounds like you have been putting in some good quality time preparing. For the A00-231 Base Programming Specialist, the recommended training is both the Programming 1 and Programming 2 courses. If you have not taken the Programming 2 course, I'd recommend taking that course. Links to the recommended training can be found off of our certification website (link is below).
Here are some resources to help you prepare:
A blog post that we published when the new A00-231 exam was launched: https://blogs.sas.com/content/sastraining/2019/02/13/new-performance-based-certification/
Our website, which includes an introductory tutorial video and a downloadable exam content guide. https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/credentials/foundation-tools/base-programming-specialist.htm...
The exam content guide is basically a detailed outline that you can use to help guide your preparation efforts.
A tips and strategies article from our community site: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/Tips-and-Strategies-for-the-A00-231-SAS-Base-...
2 YouTube videos about this exam specifically and exam prep in general:

I tried looking into the Programming 2 section, but it takes me to a subscription screen. Is this required to take that part of the course?

Hello,
Yes, that is true that the Programming 2 course is part of a learning subscription. Another option would be to take this course through Coursera. https://www.coursera.org/professional-certificates/sas-programming
It's a four-course series and the equivalent course is the second course listed in the series.
I hope this is helps.
Becky
