VCP510 - Review

[Josh26]

Hey all,

I just cleared the VCP510 and wanted to discuss it a bit.

The first thing I should mention is that I was told on this forum that the VCP5 is one that I was better written than the VCP4 exam. That statement was correct. The insane amount of configuration maximums in the VCP4 that left me asking how the configuration maximums PDF was not considered a full exam braindump - are now gone. Thank god. Now we're asking useful questions.

The curve is obviously quite significant. There were a lot of questions I wasn't confident in, now that I'm home I can see that I got a large number wrong. But I still scored 350/500.

There was one particular topic I had a few questions on that, now I'm in front of Google and trying to research - I can't even get a Google hit on beyond one line in the "what's new" document. Again, obviously I didn't do well in that section.

I think the short of my advise is that if you're skilled with VMware - just go it and do it. You've got nothing to lose. I rushed into it because I wanted to get through it before the classroom course became compulsory, and now I'm glad I did.

Having also recently cleared the exam I still stand by my usual recommendation even for those experienced vSphere users - use the blueprint as your guide and review the documenation for subject you do not feel comfortable with - 

[Josh26]

I completely agree - despite my comment about one topic, no resource is better than the blueprint for the version 5 exam.

Congratulations.

Thanks for sharing valuable information.

This will long way in preparing for VCP510.

I've also shared this experience on my prep blog, hope it is okay

Thanks,

Congrats!

I did the exam 2 weeks ago, fortunetly there was a couple of questions only on configuration maximums.
