Hi all,

So you are preparing for SAS certification examinations. And it could be one or more
of the following four,viz,
1: SAS Certified Base Programmer for SAS 9
2: SAS Certified Advanced Programmer for SAS 9
3: SAS Certified Clinical Trials Programmer Using SAS 9
4: SAS Certified Statistical Business Analyst Using SAS 9: Regression and Modeling.
Now I provide you here a coaching material (one for each exam ) which will help you
crack any of these exams on the first attempt. How am I so sure ? The answer lies in
the quality of the study materials you will be receiving from me.
Lets talk about any exam,say, Base SAS exam. Now this has got a syllabus ,say,
consisting of ten chapters. There are many books available on the market (any book
store, ebay, amazon etc etc),so which book /books to buy ? And we all know from
our own experience of previous exams that even if there are many books for one
particular subject but only one or two makes us feel like this was just written for me.
I mean to say once we go through that book it feels like the book just knows how to
explain things to us the way we just want it ,nothing extra nothing less. Another
thing to understand is one book might have few chapters excellently covered not
all. Other chapters might be found brilliantly explained in some other books.
The solution to this problem is buying all the best books and which is almost
impossible because any SAS publication book will cost you minimum of $ 35 any
time.
What I am doing here is giving you a coaching/study material consisting of 12 books
( for SAS Certified Base Programmer for SAS 9 ).Lets take a look,
