Finally Passed "SAS Certified Statistical Business Analyst Using SAS 9: Regression and Modeling"

I postponed it at least five times and finally took this exam last Friday of March-14 . I think I did the right thing in postponing it because whenever I looked at the Example questions on SAS website, I felt I wasn't prepared enough and test is exactly like Example questions. Here is my take of this exam:

Difficultly Level (0-10) - I would say 7.

No need to worry about time - There are 65 questions in 2 hours. I took really long for few questions and still I managed to complete test in 1.5 hours including review. So ignore the time factor.

Test is well distributed across all stages of Predictive modelling. But If I still have to weight it, I would say40% of questions are related to anlaysing the output of the Model.

Theoretical knowledge is must. It tests your basic theoretical knowledge as well Like method names, type of tests, options/curves used etc.

I took "Predictive Modeling Using Logistic Regression" training last year. It is very relevant to this exam. So if you can get hold of this training material, it would definitely help. 

Comment it if need any more information or Contact me.

    Hi, I took the basic Predictive Modeling Using Logistic Regression course which is e-course by SAS. They have also made it free (but some, not all) on their website. The other notes I used was from the training I did on Logistic Regression - again from SAS
