VCAP5-DCD

Greetings.

Does anyone know when VCAP5-DCD beta exam will be released?

OR has it already been released and I've missed the boat?

Thanks.

Yeah same here.  Some of the drag and drop questions are annoyingly subjective, but on the whole not too bad, expect I'll scrape by again Smiley Wink

If it follows the VCP history, the numbers will continue to increase and you will keep your current VCAP # throughout all versions.

Hi Everyone, I'm so curious when is the VCAP5-DCD and DCA will be available live on all Pearson Vue Centers? How did you took this exam, I haven't seen the VCAP5-DCA and VCAP5-DCD information on the VMware Certifications site.

Thank you!

The post-beta analysis for DCD is happening right now, and pre-invites for DCA have been emailed out this week.

There are yet to be any confirmed dates for the final release of either exam, but DCD will be out first, I'd guess it will be some time this month...

Thank you Scott!

Who are the eligible ones who can take and got invited to the beta exam of VCAP5-DCD and DCA? Thanks. Only the current VCAP4s and VCDX4s? or the vExperts as well? Thanks again.

I believe it is only open to existing VCAP certified individuals - the reason for this I am assuming is they use rge Beta have a first screen of the questions as well as develop th scoring methodology - by inviting existing VCAPs they can compare a prior exam score with the Beta -

The DCD5 beta took place a few weeks ago, it was only DCD4s that were invited.

DCA4s have just been asked this week if they will be able to participate in the DCA5 beta - I'd have to assume that if enough DCA4s can then the DCA5 beta won't be widened to include others.

Hi

They may be asking people outside of the VCAP4-DCA holders as i'm not a VCAP4-DCA holder and i got asked although i did attempt it and I am a vExpert so i'm not sure if that contributed to my being asked or not.

I get the sense most folk passed, version 5 wasn't that different from version 4, so I think that's to be expected.

I emailed the exam beta address and they said there was a delay with the vendor and you should expect the report with your actual score on the 18th or shortly after.

Did you receive your scores on 18th, Jun? I didn't. I've sent an email  to Exam Beta team asking for the scores but until now I didn't get any  answer.

I'm also curious if anybody (from the beta or the official exam) has the official transcript. Seems not yet... but maybe I'm just me.
