hey all.....

 

does anyone know whether I get negative points during multiple choice for a wrong answer or just zero points!?

 

This is important if the exam's time goes by and there are sill open questions.

Rahter guess...or rather let them clear.

 

kind regards

hey all,

 

I am looking for a section where I can download the related exercise preograms for course "SAS Programming 2: Data and Manipulation Techniques". ....Unfortunately I just got the course digital papers.

Hey,

 

I think you can only download the programs from the exercises of the certification course, not the test.

Or if you work at SAS, there are some people that has a program called MANAGER that, simulates the certification test.

 

Hope this helps

Hi,

 

"I think you can only download the programs from the exercises of the certification course, not the test." ...that's exactly what I am looking for. 

 

My course handout is referencing "p2*" programs, that has to be altered in order to solve the courses' problems/exercises.

 

hmm

Where did you get the course notes from? They're usually included as a CD - a bit outdated but still works.
Otherwise if you bought them online I assume you'd be able to get an electronic download and I would follow up with SAS directly.

Hi Reeza...

 

I passed a course bundle 3 years ago but did't took the exam. ...this papers' exercises refer to the requested mini-progs.

 

2 Weeks ago I failed the exam because of time trouble as a result of to less practice work (coding) ...2% more to suceed..damn.

 

Thus, I wanted to spend more time on practice rather than theorie...

I would highly recommend you contact SAS with your order info. I'd be surprised if they didn't provide you with the data.

I wasn't aware they have digital versions though. Good to know.

Last time I took a  SAS cert, they look for % correct answers, like 70%. So this would translate to that wrong answers are kinda 0 points, not negative. It's no of correct answers that count.

Data never sleeps
