In terms of the Design exam - I had my own issues with that :

After that I was tempted to never sit one ever again. Either way - I got this one now ..

Now in terms of the Deploy, I must say I was shocked how old the version of the exam is, given it was JUST released.

I think the exam was on 6.2.4 - and 6.2 will be end of life end of next year. But I agree - time management is important. I got caught up on a few questions where a setting just didn't work. Like you close a car door but the light just doesn't go off even though it should. So I was sitting there for ages and essentially run out of time.

I am not sure how many questions i missed or partially missed  - probably around 9 or so .. Not sure how long it should take to get my result, but the 10 working days will pass this week. So fingers crossed (also doing that for the VCDX-CMA pre-req)
