Sat the exam today and passed with a 394. Tough test indeed, but very pleased with the results.
Study resources include:
VCP5 Certification Guide - Bill Ferguson
Mastering vSphere 5 - Scott Lowe
Multiple online resources, but mainly:
VMware Certified Professional 5 » ValCo Labs
| VCP-5
All of the posts stating to follow and check off items on the blueprint are accurate and should be a must before sitting the exam. I also have daily hands-on experience at work and managed the vSphere 5.0 upgrade from 4.1 which helped a lot as well. A small lab at home to play with features we don't utilize in the office.
Next up include SCCM 2012 (70-243; leading the upgrade from 2007 early in 2013 at work) and am very interested in the VCAP-DCA5 (this will be a long study process).

emmm, I had a small question. Its been like 30 hours after the exam, the coffee has worn out and I am checking my emails every hour for some sort of email from Vmware but nothing has come yet.
Anyone have a clue when you get an email from Vmware or confirm your address?[h=1]“An expert is one who knows more and more about less and less until he knows absolutely everything about nothing.” [/h] -
