A00-240 · Regression & Modeling
The SAS Certified Statistical Business Analyst (exam A00-240, officially "SAS Statistical Business Analysis Using SAS 9: Regression and Modeling") validates that you can build, validate, and interpret predictive models in SAS — ANOVA, linear and logistic regression, and the full model-assessment toolkit. It is the credential analytics teams, insurers, banks, and pharma sponsors look for when they need a SAS modeler who can defend a logistic model in production. Unlike the SAS programming certs, this is a statistics exam: you have to read PROC output and reason about modeling decisions under a tight 1h50m clock. This page breaks down exactly what is tested and how to get it done right the first time.

How the SAS A00-240 exam is built — at a glance
60
60 scored multiple-choice and short-answer questions, plus up to 5 unscored pilot items SAS uses to trial future content. You cannot tell which are which.
110
1 hour 50 minutes total — roughly 1 minute 40 seconds per item. There is no scratch SAS session, so output-reading questions must be parsed quickly in your head.
68%
A fixed 68% threshold — about 41 of 60 scored items correct. No section minimums, so a strong logistic-regression block can offset a weaker ANOVA block.
This is a statistics exam dressed in SAS syntax. You are expected to read PROC GLM, PROC REG, and PROC LOGISTIC output, recognize when assumptions are violated, and choose the right modeling step — not just recall code. Questions present logs, parameter estimate tables, and fit statistics and ask what they imply for the model.
There is a single 68% cut score across the whole exam — your result is pass or fail with no scaled scoreband. The five content domains carry different weights (logistic regression and model performance dominate), so a modeler who is fluent in PROC LOGISTIC and ROC/lift interpretation has a structural advantage on this exam.
Five official domains — bars show each domain's share of your score
Analysis of variance, two-sample and multi-group testing, interactions, and post-hoc comparisons. Reading PROC GLM output and interpreting F-tests and least-squares means.
Fitting and interpreting models in PROC REG/GLM, model selection methods, multicollinearity, residual diagnostics, and interpreting parameter estimates and R-square.
The heaviest-weighted domain. PROC LOGISTIC, odds ratios, the logit link, interpreting maximum-likelihood estimates, and handling binary and ordinal targets for scoring models.
Handling missing values, outliers, and categorical inputs; honest assessment with training/validation partitions; variable screening and reducing the dimensionality of predictors.
Tied for the largest domain. ROC curves and the c-statistic, lift and gains charts, choosing cutoffs, and comparing competing models on validation data to avoid overfitting.
Logistic regression and model performance together make up half the exam. Candidates who can fluently read a PROC LOGISTIC table and an ROC curve clear the 68% bar far more reliably than those who over-prepare ANOVA.
These five weightings come from the official SAS A00-240 content guide. Note how front-loaded the exam is toward predictive modeling: ANOVA is only one tenth of the marks, while logistic regression and model assessment together account for 50%. Building your prep around that distribution is the single biggest lever on your result.
Two ways to sit the A00-240 — and what to expect on test day
SAS delivers the A00-240 through Pearson VUE. At a center you check in with a government-issued ID, store your belongings, and sit the exam on a supplied workstation under camera and staff supervision. No personal notes or devices are permitted in the room.
You can also sit the A00-240 from home with Pearson VUE OnVUE. You install the OnVUE app, run a system check, and complete a webcam room scan and ID capture. A live proctor plus AI monitoring watch the whole session — no second monitor, no phone, and no leaving the camera frame.
Check-in opens 30 minutes before your slot. You photograph your ID and four angles of your workspace, then wait for a greeter to admit you. Late or failed checks can forfeit the appointment.
A clear desk, no second screen, no headphones, no notes, and no one else in the room. OnVUE locks down your machine so other applications cannot run during the exam.
Stay on camera and silent — reading questions aloud, looking off-screen, or a dropped connection can flag the session. There is no scheduled break across the 110-minute window.
The A00-240 is built for SAS modelers and analysts
No gatekeeping prerequisite — but the statistics bar is real
Difficulty: A00-240 is widely rated harder than the SAS Base and Advanced Programming exams because it tests statistical judgment, not just code. The short-answer items punish memorization, the 68% cut is unforgiving, and the heavy logistic-regression and model-performance weighting trips up programmers who never built scoring models in production. That is exactly the pressure point our help is designed to remove.
The SAS Statistical Business Analyst exam is a tight, statistics-heavy test with a fixed 68% cut and an OnVUE proctored session standing between you and the credential your team needs. Exam Assist pairs you with a vetted SAS statistical-modeling specialist and works on a pay-after-you-pass model — so the risk sits with us, not you. No upfront fee, guaranteed results: Exam Assist handles the sitting end to end, and you settle only after the verified result.
