I am in a somewhat similar position. I have been training the last 3 months, quite intensively for the VCP 6.5 DCV exam.
Yesterday wanted to book the exam, only to discover it is no longer there.

I am afraid i will have to spend another 3 months training now, because i feel like i have to start almost from scratch.

I noticed training for the 2119 exam is different than training for the 6.5 exam.
