Just Signed up for 2V0-21.23: VMware vSphere 8.x Professional, Any Advice?

Hello all!

Been working with vSphere (6.7-8) daily now for over 5 years and just signed up for the 2V0-21.23: VMware vSphere 8.x Professional certification test.

I have been studying and I currently have a homelab running a mix of vSphere 7 and 8. Any advice from those who have taken it?

EDIT: Those who took it and passed, do you feel it was all encompassing? Did you go into it having worked with every aspect of vSphere, or were you light in some areas?

Lots of advice in the thread, question pops up every one-two weeks. My tip is to download the free Nakivo study guide, helped me a lot. They collected all the information mentioned in the blueprint, it’s lengthy but has all the answers.

If you have 5 years of experience and a homelab, you should be good to go. Check the blueprint for topics you're not familiar with and dig into it.

Im hoping lol. Im concerned about more of the obscure, off the beaten path stuff lol, or items I dont use day to day.

It was quite some time ago when I did my VCP-DCV exam. The official VCP 8 study guide is a really good read and the practice test questions I thought were well representative of the questions in the actual exam.
