1. The Exam
1.1 Purpose of Exam
The VMware View Exam tests certification candidates on their skills and abilities implementing, installing, and
configuring a VMware View™ 5.x environment. Successful candidates demonstrate mastery of these skills and
abilities.
1.2 Number of Questions
The VMware View Exam consists of 85 questions and a short pre-exam survey consisting of 7 questions.
1.3 Passing Score
The passing score for this exam is 300, using a scaled scoring method. The scale is from 100-500. Scaled
scores are calculated using a mathematical formula that considers a variety of factors, including the number
and type of exam questions included in a specific version of the exam. Because this combination may vary in
different versions of the same examination, scaled scores provide a fair score for each individual based on the
version of the exam taken.
1.4 How Objectives Relate to Questions on the Exam
Objectives summarize what the test is designed to measure. Objectives are developed by Exam Developers
and subject matter experts (SMEs) based on identified tasks that relate to the job of implementing, installing,
and configuring a VMware View environment. Once the initial development process is complete, theseobjectives are verified using an external group of individuals in the actual job role. The external survey
determines the number of questions for each objective, which relates directly to the criticality of the task in
the job role.
1.5 Languages
The exam is available in English.
1.6 Time Limit
The time limit for the exam is 90 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes to complete the survey questions and
agreements. Candidates who take the VMware View Exam in a country where English is not a primary
language will have an additional 30 minutes added to the exam time. This time extension is automatic, no
additional action is required from the candidate. For the purposes of this exam, countries where English is
considered one of the primary languages include Australia, New Zealand, Belize, South Africa, Bermuda, the
United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and Ireland.

1.7 Scheduling and Taking the Exam
This exam is administered through Pearson VUE. For details on the rules and procedures associated with
registering for and taking the exam, which exams are available, latest certification news and more, please visit
the VMware page on Pearson VUE’s website at http://www.pearsonvue.com/vmware.
Pearson VUE’s website can also be used to locate a testing center in your area, schedule a VMware exam, and
review exam history information.
1.8 Certification Tracks
The VMware View Exam is a component of the VCP5-DT certification. The certification requires a passing score
on the exam and successful attainment of the VMware Certified Professional 5 – Data Center Virtualization
(VCP5-DCV) certification. The VCP5-DCV certification may be taken before or after passing the VMware View
Exam, but the VCP5-DT certification cannot be granted until both steps are completed.
Note: VCP5 (VMware Certified Professional on vSphere 5) has been renamed VCP5-DCV.
A VCP certification is required before attempting a VMware Certified Advanced Professional level certification.
1.9 Recertification
The recertification policy helps ensure that all VCP holders are current in their VMware training, and
encourages certified professionals to expand the depth and breadth of their knowledge by recertifying in a
different track or at a higher level.
Certification holders must recertify within two years of earning their most recent VCP certification.
Prerequisite course requirements are waived, but the exam and exam cost are the same as those required for
initial certification.
There are three ways to recertify:
Take the current exam for the VCP certification currently held. For example, a VCP3 could take the
current VCP5-DT (VCP510-DT) exam.
Earn a new VCP certification in a different solution track. For example, a VCP5-DT could recertify by
earning a VCP5-DCV (VCP550) certification.
Advance to the next level by earning a VMware Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) certification.
Certification holders who do not maintain training currency will have their certifications revoked. Re-earning a
revoked certification requires satisfying the same prerequisites as any candidate attempting to earn that
certification for the first time. Revoking certification entails:
Loss of access to the VCP portal
Loss of the right to use VMware certification logos
Notification of the lost certification status on MyLearn transcripts

For more information on the certification program or to register for our recommended courses, please visit
vmware.com/go/recertification or contact [email protected].
1.10 Retake Policy
If a candidate fails an exam on the first attempt, he or she must wait seven calendar days from their original
appointment time before he or she can register to retake the exam. There is no limit to the number of retakes
a candidate can attempt, but the same waiting period applies after each failed attempt. Once the exam is
passed, a candidate may not make any further attempts.
1.11 Exam Security
VMware reserves the right to refuse certifying a candidate who violates exam security policies. This includes
copying and redistribution of exam material, using any type of study material during the exam itself,
attempting to photograph exam items and taking an exam using a false identity. Pearson VUE testing centerswill take your photo and capture your digital signature upon arrival to take the exam.
2. Intended Audience
2.1 Intended Audience
A candidate for the VMware View exam has 6-12 months experience working with the VMware View product.
Candidates are infrastructure personnel with experience installing, configuring, and troubleshooting the
virtual infrastructure and View environment. Candidates must possess the ability to configure the VMware
vSphere environment including, but not limited to, creating virtual machines and monitoring host resource
usage. Due to the vSphere knowledge required, the candidate must have the VMware Certified Professional 5
– Data Center Virtualization (VCP5-DCV) certification. The successful candidate will most likely have additional
industry-recognized general IT certifications or equivalent experience (typically 2-5 years).
3. Objectives covered in the VMware View Exam
3.1 Introduction
It is recommended that candidates have the knowledge and skills necessary to administer VMware View and
VMware vSphere environments before taking the VMware View Exam. It is also suggested that the candidate

5.1 Mock Exam
VMware provides a mock exam for the VMware View Exam. The mock exam contains sample questions, along
with explanation for incorrect responses. The mock exam presents ten questions, written by the same
authors of the actual exam. The mock exam pass score is set to 100%, and a candidate can retake the mock
exam as many times as desired until the 100% score is achieved. Please be advised that the pass score for the
mock exam is unrelated to the pass score for the actual exam. Refer to section 1.3 for the scoring information
for the VMware View Exam.
The mock exam is located at: http://mylearn.vmware.com/quiz.cfm?item=30036&ui=www_cert
5.2 VCP5-DT Community
VMware provides an online community for VCP5-DT candidates. This community contains valuable
information from other candidates and senior Desktop professionals, and is moderated by VMware
certification staff. The community is located at:
http://communities.vmware.com/community/vmtn/certedu/certification/desktop_certifications/vcp-dt
5.3 Building a vSphere Test Environment
All VMware products, including View 5 and vSphere 5, can be downloaded and evaluated for 60 days. If you
have the equipment to install a copy of ESXi 5.x, you can install ESXi in a VM. This would allow you to install
multiple copies of ESXi and a copy of vCenter Server. For shared storage, obtain a virtual appliance that
contains an iSCSI target. Several of these are available on the appliance marketplace.
