SASInstitute A00-420 Exam: Your Questions Answered
To pass the A00-420 exam you need 71%, and the official registration fee is $180 USD.

Work through the ExamTorrent practice questions until your timed scores sit comfortably above 71%, and only then lock in your exam date.
The A00-420 (SAS Viya Intermediate Programming) is the official SASInstitute examination that awards the SAS Viya Programming Specialist certification to candidates who pass it. Within the SASInstitute program it is classed as a Intermediate credential. It sits alongside related certifications such as SAS Certified Specialist: Intermediate Programming Using SAS Viya, SAS Viya Programming Specialist. Because the credential comes straight from the vendor, employers treat it as verified proof of skill — and the 256 practice questions at ExamTorrent follow the same published blueprint.

On exam day you will have 110 minutes to complete 65-70 questions in the A00-420 exam. Divide your attention deliberately: answer what you know first, mark anything doubtful, and sweep back through flagged items near the end rather than burning minutes on a single question. The best way to defuse time pressure is exposure — schedule at least one full-length timed session in the ExamTorrent test engine so the pacing feels automatic when it counts.
