Hello VMware Community
So I came back from taking the test today depressed as I failed miserably 223 points out of 500,which obviously 300 is passing.
Here is my background. I took the ICM course, i have a lab and a production environment at work.
Studied the blue print v 2.7, read the books from class, found other notes online.
Cosonok's IT Blog: VCP510 (VCP on vSphere 5) Exam Cram Notes Part 1/3

VCP5 VMware Certified Professional on vSphere 5 Study Guide: Exam VCP-510: Brian Atkinson: (I have this book)
The Official VCP5 Certification Guide (VMware Press Certification): Bill Ferguson: ( Should I be buying this book instead????)
Test was very heavy on storage, some scripting and scenario performance type questions 90% of the time.
They are looking for extensive real world experience with working on this environment which you can't get in these books or study guides.
Questions very very weird and will throw you off your game.I don't believe it follows the blue print at all.(in my opinion)
You only get about a minute per question so its a fast test.
No maximum, VDR, ports or other new features type questions. Mock exam not nearly even close enough which is ok.
My confidence level is into the ground. I feel that I know the environment, i work with it, i know my stuff, but not enough i guess.
So, I got to start from scratch back at the drawing board and study everything once again. It is what it is.
