The A00-406 exam is the official exam behind the SAS Certified Specialist: Machine Learning Using SAS Viya credential from SASInstitute. It sits at the Specialist level of the SASInstitute certification track. The PassTorrent practice questions on this page map to the same objectives, so you can measure your readiness before you book a seat.

The A00-406 exam contains 50-55 questions and gives you 90 minutes to complete them. That pace leaves little room for getting stuck, so train yourself to flag a hard question, move on, and circle back later. Run at least one full timed session in the PassTorrent test engine a week before your exam date to check whether your pacing holds under pressure.

You need 62% to pass the A00-406 exam, and the official registration fee is $180 USD. A retake means paying that fee again in full, which makes thorough preparation the cheaper option by far. Before scheduling, take a timed PassTorrent practice test; if you are not scoring comfortably above the passing line, give yourself more study time instead of booking on hope.
