Man am I bummed. I've used VI3 in the past at previous jobs and love it. I took the I&C class last week, then I studied all my notes, the Admin Guide, the VCB guide, and an exam cram book. I took many mock exams. I even scored 85% on the official VMware mock. But, wow! To my surprise, I sat the test this morning and felt like I was in another world with the questions I was being asked. The Mock was COMPLETELY different than the real test and made me feel prepared when I really wasn't.
(without being too specific) What color does this represent? How does this or that interact across multiple datacenters? What does a Red (blah blah blah) What's this mean, what's that do? Oh and I especially liked how it was a VI3 test, and there were comparison questions to VI2.5 including sales info and ACE questions as well. I mean WHAT?!?! None of it was discussed in the class, and I also saw none of it in any documentation.
What hurts the most was that I really do know this product fairly well and felt pretty darn prepared before going in. No free retake, no Live Demos online.
So my question is "Where was this info?!?!" And how can I get hands on being unemployed at home with a system that can't run ESX?
Geez, I'm so upset right now.
