What to expect at the VCDX Enterprise Administration Exam

After a few months of waiting and sending lot’s of emails to the VCDX email address, finally two days ago, Tina over at VMware certification contacted me and offered an exam seat in Frankfurt (Germany).  It was a bit short notice, but I thought what the hack, let’s do it.  I sat the VCDX Enterprise Administration Exam yesterday. Here are some facts about the exam:

• Series  VCE310
• Retake policy  10 days
• Price   €356 or $400
• Duration 180 minutes
• You will start with a 10 question VMware survey to warm your fingers up. 
• After the survey has ended, your heartbeat will go up and you will get the first part "75 multiple choice/choose all that apply questions" (weight 60 %)
• After the multiple choice part, be sure to spare an hour and 20 minutes for part two "the 11 hands-on lab tasks" (weight 40%)
• Stucture 100-500 point, minimum score to pass is 300

When you run out of time like I did, the exam software logs off and you will receive an Enterprise-Level Systems Administration Exam Examination Confirmation Report. This document is provided as verification that you sat the VMware Enterprise Administrator Exam. This document does not constitute an official score report. Your results will be reviewed, analyzed and the final score determined. Exam results will be sent directly to you within 10-12 business days. Let’s hope for the best. Good luck to you all.
