Hi Pals,

I have been working on Vpshere ESXi 5.5 U2 since 9-10 months so decided to go for this starter level exam VCAD510: VCA-DCV (without voucher) cost me around 95 USD.

I inquired properly in internet there should be 50 multiple choice questions and 75 min Time limit.

But at peasonvue portal it is showing 120 min exam length.

Why is it so? why 45 min more??

Will be i getting more questions then??

Help me out Smiley Sad

I did all the basic vsphere components:- ESxi 5.5, Vcenter Server, Vmotion, storage motion, DRS, storage DRS, HA, FT, vconvertor, VSAN, VLAN, DPM, OVA/OVF, snapshots/cloning/templates,Port Groups, security policies, traffic shapping, Nic Teaming, VCB, DPM, virtual appliances, Vswtiches, Distributed switches, VUM, VMware tools, VCB, Orchestrator, Site Recovery Manager, Configuration Manager, Vcenter Vcops, Horizon view intro, vcloud director intro.

What products/functionalities should i study more? suggest me.

Thanks in Advance.

The regular appointment length is 90 minutes in total - 75 to answer the questions and 15 minutes to complete the demographic questions and agreements.

You have been granted an additional 30 minutes to answer the questions, as you are taking the exam in a country where English is not the first language - you can see that in the bottom-left of the screenshot you posted.

So, you will have 105 minutes to answer the questions, plus 15 minutes to complete the demographic questions and agreements.

It's basic for someone who has already worked with vSphere for as long as you have - you're a candidate for VCP with your experience.

Nonetheless, you passed - well done.
