I had prepared and passed my VMware VCP 6.5 DCV Exam (2V0-622D) within 2 months of my VCP certification expiration date in June 2018.

It was a rough and challenging journey but I had overcome all obstacles by using the following techniques. I prepared for my exam doing self study using:

• VMware Certification Exam Prep: VCP6.5 – Data Center Virtualization v6.5 Exam (2V0-622 / 2V0-622D) from the VMware Learning Zone
• CBT Nugget course:  VMware vSphere 6.5 (VCP6.5-DCV)
• VMware vSphere 6.5 Documentation
• VLADAN.FR VCP 6.5-DCV Study Guide
• vSphere 6.5 Feature Walk Through
• VMware Hands-On-Lab

I also created a study plan schedule using the exam guidelines covering each objectives section for one day. For an up to date exam guidelines, please refer to the VMware website.
