Prep Guide Base Programming 5th Edition for Exam prepatation?

[Benjamin_S]

Hi,

I want to take th exam "Base Programming Specialist".

Is the "SAS Certification Prep Guide - Base Programming for SAS 9 - 5th Edition" still a sufficiant soure to prepare fore the exam?

I made a quick crosscheck between the Table of content and the "Exam Content Guide" and I found most of the Topics.

Do I have to buy the new book (SAS Certified Specialist Prep Guide - 1st Edition - Base Programming Using SAS 9.4) ?

Thanks for tipps and suggestions

Hello Benjamin, 

This question has been previously asked here in the Community.  Go to this link and there is a good post about this for your reference:  https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Certification/Sas-Base-Programmer-Book/m-p/585847#M627

This post points out the differences for you between the two guides.  Also, make sure you check out our certification web page for all the information about the Base Programming Specialist at:  https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/credentials/foundation-tools/base-programming-specialist.htm...

Be sure to download the Exam Content Guide and you can use it to help guide your study efforts. 

Best of luck to you in your studies.
