4.0 out of 5 stars
Passed SAS Base Programming Certification Exam using this guidebook,
By SAS Man "Mel" (CA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SAS Certification Prep Guide: Base Programming for SAS 9 (Paperback)
Bought the Prep Guide (SAS9) in August, read it twice and did all
quizes after each chapter. Then, reviewed the book contents and all problems again. Took the test in October and passed it. I changed a job within the company right after, got a 10% higher pay than my current one. You can just study the guidebook alone. Doing the programming exercises in the accompanied CD is helpful for understanding the contents, but not absolutely necessary as long as you fully understand and memorize some important details. The information is massive, you got to put them in an organized way so that you are able to retrieve them easily and fast when you are taking test. Answering 70 questions in 2 hrs, there is a plenty of time. Good luck!

This review is from: SAS Certification Prep Guide: Base Programming for SAS 9 (Paperback)
I bought this book and read it many times before the exam. Took notes for concepts that are confusing or may be tricky(like Do while/Until, Length etc.). Passed the test (90% questions correct!) and now preparing for the advanced test. The quizes on the back are good but a bit easier than the test. I also referred the e-planetlabs study guide which had better quizes. Then I reviewd this book again to clear some concepts. Overall, SAS base test is pretty easy if you have these two reference materials. Answering 45 correct questions out of 70 is not that tough. Also SAS website has a mock test which might help practice, but i suggest the e-planet. Good luck.

Excellent prep for test with programming I and II,

This review is from: SAS Certification Prep Guide: Base Programming for SAS 9 (Paperback)
The most notable attribute of the SAS Prep Guide is that it contains a lot of information not included in the two programming classes that I've taken from the SAS Institute (Base Programming I and II). The classes were great, but the book adds even more material (and if it's on the test, I want to know about it!). The book is thorough, over 750 pages of material and includes about 10 questions at the end of each chapter as a test (answers and explanations in the back of the book). Also, the book doubles as a reference guide in case you're stumped and need a resource. I have not used the CDROM at all and thus have no comments in regards to it. Overall, I suggest it, especially if you can get your company to pay for it!
