A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Using the SAS Programmer assessment.

What does the full assessment tell you?

This template combines multiple-choice questions in Numerical Reasoning, Error Checking, Logical Reasoning, SQL. It brings together evidence about data accuracy, analysis and clear conclusions, giving you areas to explore when reviewing milestones and dependencies before a project handover.

How can you use the results?

Review each result against your vacancy’s responsibilities. Use a short task based on reviewing milestones and dependencies before a project handover to explore practical application. Ask them to identify dependencies, explain a delivery risk and communicate a revised plan.

Which results matter for your vacancy?

  • Numerical ReasoningAsk them to interpret a table, calculate a rate and explain what the figures imply.
  • Error CheckingCheck matching identifiers, amounts and dates before records are shared.
  • Logical ReasoningAsk them to explain the relationships and assumptions behind a conclusion.
  • SQLAsk how they would filter records, join related tables and verify a query result.

BEFORE YOU START

Your questions, answered.

Can I tailor this assessment to my SAS Programmer vacancy?

Yes. Start with Numerical Reasoning, Error Checking, Logical Reasoning, SQL, then keep the tests that match your responsibilities. For example, use Numerical Reasoning to explore tables & charts. You can add or remove tests before inviting candidates.

Does this assess practical SAS Programmer work?

Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in Numerical Reasoning, Error Checking, Logical Reasoning, SQL online. They do not complete your day-to-day work inside your own systems. Add a short work sample based on reviewing milestones and dependencies before a project handover to explore application alongside the test results.

Why is Numerical Reasoning included?

Shows how candidates read figures, tables and percentages, and what they conclude from them. Ask them to interpret a table, calculate a rate and explain what the figures imply. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.

How long does this SAS Programmer assessment take?

The recommended selection contains 4 tests and allows 40 minutes across its timed tests. Adding or removing tests, or adjusting time allowances, can change the total.

Will I see a separate result for each test?

Yes. Review Numerical Reasoning, Error Checking, Logical Reasoning, SQL separately so a strength in one area does not hide a gap in another. Use the detail to focus interviews and relevant work samples. View the sample report.
