That's me done the course now for the Vmware 5. The course had plenty of labs however I felt that they kind of skimmed over the exam blueprint and i guess it is upto myself now to go back and read the VCP study guide thoroughly. I am in no way ready to sit the exam yet and I feel a big part of that is down to the fact that I don't use VMware in my work place.
I do have a lab setup at home - I followed these instructions:

However what is the best method of study? I have just read a few posts from people saying they have failed the VCP as it was very practical based. How would I go around creating lab scenarios?
My plan is to go through the book and then start on the CBT and TrainSignal videos and try to follow their labs as much as possible.
