Question 1 of 270

The SAS data set SASUSER.HOUSES contains a variable PRICE which has been assigned a permanent label of "Asking Price". Which SAS program temporarily replaces the label "Asking Price" with the label "Sale Price" in the output?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

The correct SAS program to temporarily replace the label 'Asking Price' with 'Sale Price' in the output is: proc print data = sasuser.houses label; label price = 'Sale Price'; run;. This code uses the LABEL statement correctly within the PROC PRINT procedure to assign a temporary label.

Question 2 of 270

The following SAS program is submitted:

data work.empsalary;

set work.people (in = inemp) work.money (in = insal);

if insal and inemp;

run;

The SAS data set WORKPEOPLE has 5 observations, and the data set WORKMONEY has 7 observations. How many observations will the data set WORK.EMPSALARY contain?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

When the SAS program is executed, the IF statement 'if insal and inemp;' ensures that only those observations which are present in both data sets, work.people and work.money, will be included in the resulting data set, work.empsalary. This is essentially performing an inner join operation. Since there are no identification variables mentioned to match observations between the work.people and work.money data sets, we can assume that no observations meet the condition of being present in both data sets. Therefore, the resulting data set, WORK.EMPSALARY, will contain 0 observations.

Question 3 of 270

The SAS data sets WORK.EMPLOYEE and WORK.SALARY are shown below:

WORK.EMPLOYEE WORK.SALARY -

fname age name salary

Bruce 30 Bruce 25000 -

Dan 40 Bruce 35000 -

Dan 25000 -

The following SAS program is submitted:

data work.empdata;by fname;totsal + salary;run;

Which one of the following statements completes the merge of the two data sets by the FNAME variable?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

To complete the merge of the two datasets by the FNAME variable, you need to account for the different names of the key variable in each dataset. In the WORK.EMPLOYEE dataset, the key variable is FNAME, while in the WORK.SALARY dataset, it is NAME. Thus, you should use the RENAME= data set option to standardize the key variable name before performing the merge. The correct syntax for this is 'merge work.employee work.salary (rename = (name = fname));'. This way, the NAME variable in WORK.SALARY is renamed to FNAME, allowing the datasets to be merged by the FNAME variable.

Question 4 of 270

The following SAS program is submitted:

data test;

set chemists;

jobcode = Chem2 then description = Senior Chemist; else description = Unknown;

run;

The value for the variable JOBCODE is:

JOBCODE -

-------------

chem2

What is the value of the variable DESCRIPTION?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: B

Given the SAS program, the value for the variable JOBCODE is 'chem2' in lowercase. However, the code checks if jobcode is equal to 'Chem2' with an uppercase 'C'. Since 'chem2' does not match 'Chem2' (because SAS is case-sensitive), the condition fails, and the ELSE part of the statement is executed, assigning the value 'Unknown' to the variable DESCRIPTION.

Question 5 of 270

The following SAS program is submitted:

data work.test;

Author = 'Agatha Christie';

First = substr(scan(author,1,' ,'),1,1);

run;

Which one of the following is the length of the variable FIRST in the output data set?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

The length of the variable FIRST is determined by analyzing the SAS program. The FIRST variable is created by extracting the first character from the first word in the variable AUTHOR using the SUBSTR and SCAN functions. Since the length of the SUBSTR function is specified as 1, the length of the variable FIRST is 1.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
