We recently made a change and haven't had much time to promote this exciting update, but currently the Base Programming Specialist and Advanced Programming Professional practice exams are free. These are full length practice exam built to the same specifications as the actual exams. The links to them are directly on the Training & Preparation sections of each credential page and are available globally.

Advanced: https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/credentials/foundation-tools/advanced-programming-profession...

 

You will need to create a SAS profile to access these eLearning version oft the practice exams, but that is all. A bit more information here:

Hi @jeje 

 

There are a lot of scenarios at the end of the certification guide: SAS Certified Specialist Prep Guide: Base Programming Using SAS 9.4

You can also download exam sample questions here: Download Sample Questions

Finally, you can also take a practice exam: its reference is PE-231P (you need to log on to your SAS account)

 

NB: There is a video on the SAS Certification website that explains the certification exam's environment.  https://www.sas.com/en_us/certification/credentials/foundation-tools/base-programming-specialist.htm...

The exams have changed last year so ensure that any online material you get is up to date for the new exams. Most are not.

I recently did the practice exam, it was really helpful! But I only got 50%. I've got my Base exam soon and I'm worried I will fail. I'm also looking for more practical exam questions. Most of the questions I can find online are multiple choice
