What study material did you use for your VCP exam?

So far I've only been using the following:

1) Completed the Stanly 5.1 ICM class
2) Completely read VMware vSphere 5.1 Administration
3) Re-reading Scote Lowe's 5.5 book finishing up chapter 5 now
4) used a near replica home-lab of a production network with SAN fabric (not going into detail most of you know it)

Also Career Adacemy, anyone have a take on them?

I'm curious what others have used or recommend - at what point will my studies be overkill?

Go through the Blueprint. I would also recommend the the official VMware documentation. I failed the VCP the first time, went through documentation on storage and resource pools to get me over the hurdle on the 2nd try. (The majority of questions I missed on my first attempt were related to storage and resource pools)

I understand storage pretty well in regards to 5.5 but not so much with resource pools so I'll focus on them. - what study material did you use tstrip007?
