VCA6-DCV Study Book?

Hi All,

I've just taken the 1V0-621 VMware Certified Associate 6 - Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals Exam and failed it for a second time. This is driving me nuts...I'm really trying hard to pass this and I got an even lower score the second time round - 267 the first time, 240 the second. I'm following along with the training portal process recommended for the exam:


    Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) - Overview

    Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals [V6]

    Software-Defined Storage Fundamentals

  [  ]  vSphere 6.0 Product Walkthrough

AND

Lesson 4: Working with the vSphere Web Client

    How to Navigate the vSphere Web Client

    How to Search using the vSphere Web Client

    How to use Quick Filters in the vSphere Web Client

AND

Lesson 5: Performing Tasks in the vSphere Web Client

    Performing Common vCenter Server Tasks in the vSphere Web Client - Part 1

  [  ]  Performing Common vCenter Server Tasks in the vSphere Web Client - Part 2

  [  ]  Performing a Virtual Machine Guest OS install with VMware Tools

honestly I think there is some sort of disconnect between the training that is stated as required and what the questions are in the test. An example - 'what two objects can be edited in the distributed switch' (or something along those lines). Where is this shown in the above list of training resources? In addition, a number of training links take me to a youtube video, that is only a few minutes long. Something doesn't seem right here and I don't want to drop a third $120 for this exam. I've already submitted a ticket to the VMware cert support and I didnt get any traction other than 'follow the blueprint.'

Is there anyone out there who can recommend a book to study to pass this exam? I cannot find a VCA6-DCV book anywhere, the closest I have found is the following:

https://www.amazon.com/vSphere-Foundations-Official-Guide-2V0-620/dp/0789756498/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&q...

^which is for exam 2v0-621

and this

https://www.amazon.com/VCA-DCV-Official-Cert-Guide-Virtualization-ebook/dp/B00K7ESIE4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=...

^which is for the old exam and vSphere v5, so it is out of date.

Help!
