I began from almost 0 and spent the about&nbsp;50 days to pass the base&nbsp;and advanced SAS exam.<br/>I definitely learned a lot through the preparation process. SAS Base is quite simple but Adv is quite challenging. <p>Optimizing SAS Programs (346 pages)&nbsp;include the following:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Introduction to Efficient SAS Programming<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Controlling Memory Usage<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Controlling Data Storage Space<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Utilizing Best Practices<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Selecting Efficient Sorting Strategies<br/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Querying Data Efficiently</p><p>I manually made the pdf page by page and I do need some money to buy other books. </p><p>Thanks and good luck for&nbsp;being SAS Certified ADV Programmer for SAS 9!</p><p></p><p> </p><p> <br/></p><br/>
