Objectives met, but aimed at beginners
20. Januar 2006
I have >3 years experience in SAS, computer science training, got 90% in exam.
The main aim of this book is to prepare you for the SAS Base Programming Certification and I feel that this book did a good job at meeting this objective. It took me 2 weeks to read this book, 2 weeks to revise selected topics and do the practice exam (not part of the book) then sat the real exam. I highly recommend purchasing the "practice exam" in addition to this book which helps you get your 'eye-in' on how the questions in the exam are structured.
For the beginners, i think you'll find this book is one of the best and cheapest tools for learning SAS quickly. It's a must buy.
For the experienced, you may find this book rather frustrating at times. A lot of information is repeated and it jumps around a bit. The quizes at the end of each chapter are sometimes ambiguous. Don't worry, the exam questions are clear. A trivial example is Chapter 1, questions 3 and 4 - the questions show a contents of a dataset in what looks to be an html table, and apparently we are able to tell whether a variable is character or numeric by looking at the variables content! The questions should have stated something like "Assuming that no formats have been permanently stored with the variables.....". Sometimes the author forgets to include _ERROR_ when displaying the contents of the Program Data Vector. The book sometimes refers to version specific information but doesn't inform the reader that the information is version specific. e.g. page 193, the book states that the maximum length of the format name in a PROC FORMAT is 8 characters. The on-line SAS Doc states under "What's New in SAS 9.0, 9.1, 9.1.2, and 9.1.3".... "The maximum length for character format names is increased to 31. The maximum length for numeric format names is increased to 32.". The authors were using version 9 of SAS for some parts of the book, eg page 162. All anomalies i found in this book were trivial.
So, if you want a cheap but very effective tool for preparing for the Base exam then buy this book. If you want to boost your exam confidence then i recommend purchasing the practice exam from SAS. If you're using SAS regularly then you should also become familiar with using the SAS on-line help.

Stellar Reference and Comprehensive Review.
17. März 2005
This book delivers on its objective to provide the reader w/ an adequate review of the SAS BASE exam content. The quizzes at the conclusion of each chapter give the reader a good sense of where they are deficient and, more importantly, how the questions are framed on the exam. What is not advertised, however, is what the book also does well: serve as a reference. I appreciated the discussion on how SAS "thinks" (e.g. processes data) as well as the chapters on ARRAYs, INPUTting data, and using PROC REPORT. This book is a must-have for any SAS user seeking to validate their skill set and will also serve as a valuable adjunct to their SAS library.

Great for learning SAS fundamentals
5. Februar 2006
I have recently purchased this book for preparing myself for the SAS base programmers test. I find the book very helpful in strengthening my SAS fundamentals. As I haven't written the test yet, I cannot comment on its usefulness for the test prep.
The book also comes with a CD-ROM containing SAS examples. But I did not find it very interesting as they don't motivate you to work on the programs or assignments. They are just examples, as good as the examples in the text.
The book is not perfect only because of the CD-ROM feature, else it would get my *****.
