Confused about what to practice in labs for VCP - 510

Hi Guys,

I am preparing for my VCP exam and I have been reading posts on this forum on how to prepare. I am having a hard time judging if I am ready for the exam or not. Everyone keeps mentioning that it is critical to have a physical or a virtual lab to practice on. Now, I have a physical lab with 2  hosts and I also have a virtual AutoLabs setup on laptop.

My question is:

What exactly am I supposed to be practicing on the lab? I am going over the latest blueprint and when I am studying a topic, I try to implement it on the lab without looking it up in my notes. E.g. When studying about vCenter - Install and Configure, I install a vCenter (both the appliance and standalone) and configure it.

Am I missing something here? How did you all decide when you were ready?

It has been a long time since I have taken any exams and I am not sure if I am over preparing or under preparing. Any and all comments are welcome and appreciated. Thanks

What you're doing sounds good to me, but make sure you study the blueprint topics from the documentation too - an understanding of the options available, the best practices, the capabilities, the gotchas will all help.
