SAS Certification Practice Exams
Free Practice Exams for Base and Advanced Programming
Practice exam for the SAS Base Programming Specialist and SAS Advanced Programming Professional credentials are available for free from SAS as eLearning.

There is no exam clock on these practice exams, and you may pause and return to the practice exam later. At the end of the practice exam, a dynamic score report provides practice exam performance detail, a rationale for the correct answer, and the ability to review all questions. You may also re-attempt the practice exam.
These practice exams can be activated via the links below (you will need to create a SAS Profile if you do not already have one).
