While I am following the advice given here about making sure I have "hands on" experience, I was wondering why this is advised?
Are there lab simulations in the VCP exam? Just curious.
Thanks!

hands on is important because you will be able to practice and understand what exactly you are doing. Following the VMware Certified Professional on vSphere 4 Blueprint in a live environment, to me is crucial to get a better understanding of what you will be tested on.
Wouldn't you like to have some "real life" experience before you go for your certification?
Exactly as Troy says in his reply, a VCP should really have done the things they've been tested on. I always recommend hands-on practice, even specifically in preparation for the VCP exam, as the questions are generally simpler to answer if you've actually deployed a template, or created a vNetwork distributed switch, or watched the CPU Ready measurement on a performance graph, or any of another hundred or so examples...

Thanks. I do appreciate the answers. Forgive me from not recalling my previous inquiry.
But--- are there lab simulations in the VCP exam, or is that an illegal question?

There are no labs or simulations in the current VCP4 exam, but the VCAP-DCA exam will be 100% live labs...

Ooooh! The design is going to be 100% labs, very novel idea!!!
As for VCP-410 it's all multiple choice, lots of questions (nearly 1 a minute) but a lot of them are short and snappy.
