Hello to all ...
10 days ago, I failed with 67 score - it was unexpected and really odd feeling because I thought I should pass ... I use Vmware (all sort of) products for many years, deployed many VI, a lot of hands-on experience ... but one thing prevailed (will be mentioned later).
Today - 81 score and pass!
For everyone studying for exam - use blueprint, use all mentioned documents (mentioned in blueprint), use mock exam as a simple test and use VI alot ...It is really hard to memorize every single column in VI client, every max config number and a lot of sentences from these documents, but take your time and remember the most you can. I'd add one more thing, but to be used with special caution: third party test suites ... My trainer encouraged me (and other fellow students) to use these tests as a main material - that included remembering wrong answers from those exams :-(. That's why I nearly missed the first exam ... So my suggestion is: you can use those exams, but on every discutable answer, consult one of official documents to get a clarification. They can be handy, but don't rely on them!
That is my experience and I hope no-one else will fail its first exam attempt
