Motivated by a recent experiment of Song emph{et al.} [Science {bf 332}, 1410 (2011)], we theoretically study the spin dynamics, charge dynamics, and point-contact Andreev-reflection spectroscopy (PCARS) of two-band iron-based superconductors of a po
ssible extended $s_pm$-wave pairing symmetry. We consider the case of a dominant $s_pm$ gap blended by a secondary extended $s$ component in which gap nodes can develop in the Fermi pockets near zone corner and/or boundary. Due to the strong nesting effect associated with nodal regions, dynamical spin and charge susceptibilities can exhibit strong peaks at momenta near $(pmpi/2,0)$, $(pmpi,pmpi/2)$, as well as $(pmpi,0)$ in the unfolded Brillouin zone. For PCARS, considering an anisotropic band effect induced by an applied voltage, [100] differential conductance can exhibit a $V$-shape behavior manifesting a gap node occurring in such direction. It is highly suggested that the above features can be experimentally investigated to help sorting out the pairing symmetry of iron-based superconductors.
