What about SAS EG? For example, I use the import functionality in SAS EG to import CSV, Excel, and other formats. So is the test based on Base or PC SAS or will I be at a disadvantage using SAS EG? Thanks!
Hi there! The lab environment includes SAS Studio, EG, and SAS Display Manger, and all applications are fully functional, so these import capabilities work. However, the vast majority of the projects require writing SAS code, and there are standard Multiple Choice questions as well that don’t use the lab. Everyone who plans to take the exam should be skilled in all of the topic areas covered on the Exam Content Guide: 2.sas.com/60511spZJ
