Yesterday I passed the VCP which I’m really please about after botching it a couple of weeks back. I’ve worked with VC and ESX environments for a while now and I have to say this was a fairly hard exam. I basically hibernated over the last month and half studying for this exam. Some threads on this forum suggested spending about 20 hrs studying for the VCP. All I can say is say is the person who suggested that must be at a genius intellectual level ;-).
Good luck to everyone who is currently working towards the VCP certification.
