How to access datasets for SAS Advanced Programming practice using SAS OnDemand?

[Akter]

Hello,
I am preparing for the SAS Advanced Programming Certification exam and working through the SAS practice test. Some questions require datasets such as:

cert.mac_in07
certadv.orion_*
mac_in07 etc.

However, I am using SAS OnDemand for Academics and cannot find the cert or certadv libraries.
Are these datasets:

1. Available for download somewhere?

2. Included in any SAS training course materials?

3. Or do I need to manually create sample datasets to practice the exam tasks?

I would appreciate guidance on how others practice these exam questions using SAS OnDemand.
Thank you!

Hi @Akter,

which practice test exactly do you want to tackle?

Hi @Akter , this answers my question. My only experience is with the original SAS materials. So, sorry that I don't have an answer to your question. But I can recommend the free SAS Practise exams: https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/resources/sas-practice-exams.html

Last year I took the Advanced Programming Using SAS 9.4 Performance-Based Exam after I had done the practise exam Mark refers to in his answer. And I found it very helpful.

There are instructions in the practice exam to set up the data in different environments, including On demand for academics. It is on the page that precedes the exam questions.
