Passing Score – VMware exams are scaled on a range from 100-500, with the determined raw cut score scaled to a value of 300. Your exam may contain unscored questions in addition to the scored questions, this is a standard testing practice. You will not know which questions are unscored, your exam results will reflect your performance on the scored questions only.

Minimally Qualified Candidate
The Minimally Qualified Candidate is able to install and configure a VMware vSphere 8.0 infrastructure, which includes VMware ESXi and VMware vCenter; but occasionally needs to research topics. The candidate understands most of the requirements for managing, operating and maintaining a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. The candidate is able to monitor the day-to-day operations of a vSphere infrastructure with minimal assistance. The candidate has a basic understanding of virtual data center, network and storage concepts. The candidate possesses most of the knowledge shown in the exam sections (blueprint).

I always enjoy Scott Duffy training videos. I like how this followed the skills outline from VMware.

It was a great course which helped me to clear 2V0-21.23, I had previous experience in QnA Maker and Bot services but other major areas are very well covered by Scott. In the practice test I scored 70% in the first attempt.. but it gave proper understanding and logic building thrust.

Jessica
This course is a great walkthrough Azure Cognitive Services, but definitely not prep material for 2V0-21.23 exam.

Scott: cleard my exam in one week
Despite being recently updated this course feels out of date, for example there are 31 minutes of videos on QnA maker, but this service does not appear on the current study guide and its not clear from the course content how this differs from its replacement (Azure Cognitive Service for Language).

Furthermore, 10 minutes of videos on knowledge mining feels low for an area that makes up 15-20% of the exam

Richel
I have cleared exam today with 900!, these mock tests were very helpful to me and highly recommended. Thank you
