Certification is always a hot topic on our social media channels. A popular, ongoing discussion in our LinkedIn group focuses on advice for candidates preparing for the SAS Certified Base Programmer exam. Here’s a summary of the top recommendations to help you prepare for the exam. Review the exam content. Focus your studying on the sections you are least familiar with. Master the sample questions and practice exam. For the answers you get wrong, make sure you go back and fully understand why. Use the SAS Certification Prep Guide to lead your studies. Learning SAS by example: A Programmers Guide is also a highly recommended book among credential holders to help you prepare. Be confident. Improve your knowledge with training, reading, experience or a combination of all three until you feel confident enough to take the exam. (SAS Programming 1: Essentials and SAS Programming 2: Data Manipulation Techniques are the recommended training courses). Practice makes perfect. The amount of time you need to prepare greatly depends upon how much you use SAS on a regular basis. More SAS experience = less exam preparation time.

Be it SAS or SAP, both the courses need little bit understanding of business process knowledge and experience in a particular business area. If you have been for long days with a business area then said courses can help you. The SAS Certification Prep Guide: Base Programming for SAS 9 is the official guide, and a great resource! You can find additional recommended exam preparation materials too. There are lot of books and online resources that take you to SAS certification. I’d recommend the book called The Little SAS.
