VCP550 vs VCP550PSE

[petermie]

I'm looking to study and take my VCP 5.5 exam (VCP-DCV now?) and I see references to VCP550 and VCP550PSE but I can't find any details on if they are the same or different. They both appear to be for the VCP-DCV exam so i'm confused. Can anyone please help me get clarification?

They are the same exam, but only certain groups of people are allowed to take the "PSE" version.

Great thanks, that's what I thought but wanted to be sure because the website isn't exactly clear on that point

What does the 'PSE' stand for?  ...Professional Services Engineering??

And who are these "certain groups"?  How do they qualify this exam? 

Just curious.

For some reason, I think it's an educational SKU, perhaps for universities? Not sure why I think that, though.

It doesn't stand for anything really, it's only used by students and other special groups.
