Passed VCP 510

in Virtualization
Passed it this morning with a score of 372. Study materials used were:

Train signal
Mastering vSphere 5
Vsphere 5 best practices
Practice questions on various blogs

I found VCP 510 to be easier than VCP 410 for 3 reasons:
1. As others have stated config maximums aren't part of VCP 510 (for now).
2. I've had more experience with ESXi now vs. when I took VCP 410
3. I've played around with most of vSphere 5 modules/add-ons

Good luck to everyone else planning on taking this exam.

    Congrats! I have mine scheduled for the 27th. I'm hoping it will be easier than VCP4 for me too. When I took VCP4, I only had about 3 months experience with VMware and hardly any with ESX.

    Well done. For me it was actually harder as I haven't had a chance to even look at vSphere 5 but forgot to postpone the exam. When the center rang me up where I am I had to rush down there ... Don't know how, but passed myself somehow with 304 lol ...

    Thanks everyone. Went back and looked at my VCP410 score and I actually scored higher (375). icon_eek.gif I must have been really lucky at guessing when I took 410.
