Scott,
I apologize if my previous messages were not clear. Please don't regard this as negative. I am simply trying to economize on my very scarce training budget.
Perhaps a bit of biographical information would be useful.
I have been involved with VMware since Workstation 4.5 was new (2005?). I earned my first VCP when ESX 2.5 was the thing (2006). I skipped 3.x and got back into the swing of things when I was called upon to install vSphere 4.1 and SRM at a pair of customer sites (2009). I updated my VCP with tests on 5.0 (2012) and 5.5 (2014). I took an unplanned break due to health issues in much of 2016 and 2017; but came back and passed the 6.0 Delta exam (02017).
I have been studying vSphere 6.5 off-and-on (between work and cancer treatments and etc.) since the tests came out of beta. I have followed advice found online and installed it on a Dell Optiplex 990 with a i5-5400 CPU, 16GB RAM, and various hard drives (USB and spinning disks). I have installed it under Workstation on a generic PC with a Core2Quad 8300 and 8GB RAM. I work in an environment where I can use different versions of both vCenter and vRealize to see how older versions of vSphere are configured and managed in "production" environments.
In short, I have "hands-on" experience. I have studied the materials. I am considered the VMware expert on my team (though we do not manage the environment ourselves).
Before "dropping back 10 and punting" (i.e., taking and passing the -621D), I attempted the -622 exam twice in 2017. Both versions were different than each other as well as previous VCP exams. Both were different from materials covered in the MeasureUp practice tests. And, without going into further detail on the test/questions, I want to avoid throwing away any more money.
I have an updated copy of the Blueprint and copied the links in the OP from VMware Certified Professional 6.5 - Data Center Virtualization Delta Exam.
I just want to know if anyone here took the 6.5 Exam Prep training and whether they believe it was helpful in directing their study.
