VCAP6 Design exams - tips, tricks, and scoring

Jordan Roth from the Certification team at VMware has posted a couple of great articles about the VCAP6 Design exams on his blog The Cloud JAR.

These 2 specific articles give a great insight into the build and scoring of the VCAP6 Design exams that Jordan himself has worked on:

VCAP6 Design Tips, Tricks, and New Features

Scoring for VCAP6 Design Exams

I'd consider both articles to be "must reads" for anyone preparing for a VCAP6 Design certification - in any of the 4 solution tracks.

VCAP6 Design exams now available (DCV and CMA)

The VCAP6 Design exams for the Data Center Virtualization (DCV) and Cloud Management & Automation (CMA) solution tracks are now available!

As these are advanced-level certifications, there are pre-requisites for each, which you can review on the relevant vmware.com pages. You'll also find more information about each exam on their vmware.com pages:

VCAP6-DCV Design

VCAP6-DCV Design Exam (code 3V0-622)

VCAP6-CMA Design

VCAP6-CMA Design Exam (code 3V0-632)

As usual, the VMware Education & Certification blog was used to make the announcement.

If you took a beta version of these exams earlier in the year, your exam is now being scored against the final versions, and you'll get your results in the next 3-4 weeks.

vSphere 6 / Data Center Virtualisation Certifications

There are 4 levels of certification available for vSphere 6:

VCA6-DCV
VCP6-DCV

VCDX6-DCV

Latest news:
VMware announced that the beta of the 2 exams for VCAP/VCIX level will be available in January 2016.

They also confirmed that there will still be 2 distinct VCAP Design and VCAP Deployment certifications to go with each exam, with the status of VCIX being awarded to someone who passes both.
