Online Practice Exam from Measure-Up

[berlip]

I had my VCP5 lapsed and the best option for the course requirement was VMware vSphere: Install, Configure, Manage [V6.5] course. From day one I realised that this is a very basic course (even for the Foundation exam). I really would like to go in prepared for both the foundation and DCV but the course books seem very slim. I am busy studying the course books. The study guide references for the Foundation exam is a joke - it is basically referencing to the entire vShpere 6.5 documentation. I will try to go through this but I am starting to wonder how long my preparation time will take and whether I am truly prepared. I work with the product on a daily basis in terms of administrations, troubleshooting and optimising. However, when it comes to studying I always try to summarise everything 1:1 fearing I might miss a detail.

I see the VMware Marketplace has just released the Practice Exams (VMware Certified Professional 6.5 ). I am more than willing to buy them but would like to know if anybody else has used Measure-Up Practice exams for previous VCPs? Are they game changers for your studying?

Would appreciate any real experiences comments or practical advice.

I bought the same Measure Up Practice Exam last week and seems good, i have used this in the past for other exams aswell and does help. You can also set the timer aswell as this is an important point in the exam to manage your time effectively. 197 questions in this prep and all seem pretty good with explanations and hyperlinks in answers which help as you can then go to the KB and read more in depth to know the reason for the answer and more detail to help with further questions.
