SAS A00-232 Official Practice Exams

[Rampsas1]

Hello,

I have taken the A00-232 practice exam here: https://learn.sas.com/course/view.php?id=9

I can "re-attempt QUIZ" seemingly as many times as desired.

However, it is always the exact same exam (with the exact same questions).

Can I take a different A00-232 practice exam with different questions (even for purchase), and if so, how / where?

many thanks for any guidance

It is correct that it is only a single version of the exam. You will see the same questions upon repeated attempts. This is why we encourage the use of the practice exam as a final check after you have completed your preparation, study, and practice for the exam rather than earlier in the process. Relying on the practice exam as preparation will cause you to 'overfit' your prep towards the specific questions on the practice exam and not cover all topics on the A00-232 Exam Content Guide.

We also strongly caution against using unauthorized third party 'practice' exams. They are fraught with errors and often are the same practice exam that we provide for free, but put behind a pay-wall.

Many thanks for the reply. Your explanation and guidance make sense. I will mark this specific inquiry as 'answered.'

Additionally, being that you are an official SAS employee, I might also direct you to my post below regarding an 'observation' about a specific question on the A00-232 practice exam.

(I - and at least one other - believe this is likely an oversight in the question wording and/or expected answer. Not a real issue on the practice exam but would be an issue if the same question and expected answer appears on the actual exam)
