Summary: Very good source of Information to pass the SAS Certification
Comment: The book is all what you need to get started with SAS. It covers all the basic subjects that a beginner needs to jump start his/her SAS experience.
Then I bought the Practice Exam from the SAS institute to get a feel of the exam questions, and trust me guys, you have to have the practice test in order to know how the real test is going to be. It helps a lot.
I bought the book in June end, read it a couple of times while summarizing the important subjects, took the exam in September and passed it.

Summary: Price and originality comparison
Comment: Buying this book from Amazon saved me time and money. I was worried about the cd not being included with the book at the time of purchase. However, the book was brand new with cd wrapped in a plastic wrap. I am very pleased to order this book from Amazon.

Summary: Great book for SAS concepts. YOU will pass the test!!
Comment: I bought this book and read it many times before the exam. Took notes for concepts that are confusing or may be tricky(like Do while/Until, Length etc.). Passed the test (90% questions correct!) and now preparing for the advanced test. The quizes on the back are good but a bit easier than the test. I also referred the e-planetlabs study guide which had better quizes. Then I reviewd this book again to clear some concepts. Overall, SAS base test is pretty easy if you have these two reference materials. Answering 45 correct questions out of 70 is not that tough. Also SAS website has a mock test which might help practice, but i suggest the e-planet. Good luck.

Summary: Excellent prep for test with programming I and II
Comment: The most notable attribute of the SAS Prep Guide is that it contains a lot of information not included in the two programming classes that I've taken from the SAS Institute (Base Programming I and II). The classes were great, but the book adds even more material (and if it's on the test, I want to know about it!). The book is thorough, over 750 pages of material and includes about 10 questions at the end of each chapter as a test (answers and explanations in the back of the book). Also, the book doubles as a reference guide in case you're stumped and need a resource. I have not used the CDROM at all and thus have no comments in regards to it. Overall, I suggest it, especially if you can get your company to pay for it!
