VCP-310 was the code for the exams based on VI3 (3.0 and 3.5), VCP-410 has always been the code for the vSphere exams - even when the exam was first released 8 weeks after the release of vSphere 4.0.<br /><br />So, this post on my blog is current, not old or out of date.<br /><br />The exam items are consistent with both vSphere 4.0 and 4.1, so it doesn't actually make any difference what version of materials you study with, although you might as well study using the 4.1 materials.<br /><br />Best of luck :-)<br /><br />Scott.Scott Vesseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06276460042238377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-43906629310211247752011-02-10T04:34:04.921+00:002011-02-10T04:34:04.921+00:00Scott,

Those that have contributed to a braindump are in violation of their VCP agreement, and those that use them are cheating the system. You've asked for my opinion, it might not be the same as everyone else's, but that is my opinion.<br /><br />Scott.Scott Vesseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06276460042238377305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-86983774853096409792011-01-10T14:42:04.512+00:002011-01-10T14:42:04.512+00:00What are you thoughts of using brain dumps like Te...What are you thoughts of using brain dumps like Testking, CertifyMe, etc. etc., for VCP preparation?<br /><br />The VCP exam blueprint is a large scope to cover and I find it almost impossible to try understanding everything well enough to effectively take the exam and pass.<br /><br />With such large scope, it'd be nice to have something to help target the focus of study.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2737780493976230024.post-77902273778578858212011-01-06T13:59:39.828+00:002011-01-06T13:59:39.828+00:00Hi.
