Took my second attempt today and passed it scoring a 425!
This is my first certification and very happy to get through it. I was much more prepared this time and knew the level of difficulty I would expect. When I went in the first time I was expecting questions to be similar to the practice exams online and they turned out to be FAR from that. I was shocked at the level of difficulty and ended up spending way to much time on questions.
Over the past week I prepared by strictly using the blueprint combined with the official documentation and using my home lab to have a visual for all the information.
A little advice that I can give when taking the test is ... Read every word of the question and read every answer choice. If you are prepared you will notice answer choices that are very incorrect thereby making it much easier to select the correct answers.
Will be starting my preparation for the CCNA after a small break. As always, thanks to everyone that contributes to this forum.

Congrats on your pass, did you receive any acknowledgement from VMware or Pearson for passing the exam?

Was looking for an email from VMware acknowledging the exam and what to do next, it just came yesterday. There was a problem at the testing site, the receptionist's printer didn't work and couldn't log into VMware to check anything. Was getting a little freaked out that the test never even happened. Thanks

If only you were doing A+, you could have fixed the printer for the receptionist and got extra cedit
Good job, congrats.
