VMware Infrastructure with ESX Server and VirtualCenter is an official VMware exam, registered under the code VCP-101V. A passing score earns you the VMware Certified Professional (VCP) certification, positioned at the Professional level. The credential also connects to VMware Certified Professional on VI3, so it can anchor a broader certification path. Because VMware designs its exams around real job tasks, holding this certification signals practical skill rather than memorized theory.

Candidates face 85-100 questions inside a 90 minutes window on the VMware Infrastructure with ESX Server and VirtualCenter exam. That ratio leaves little slack, which is why pacing deserves as much practice as the content itself. Learn to budget your minutes, park stubborn questions instead of wrestling them, and rehearse under a real clock: a few timed runs in the ActualCollection test engine will make the official time limit feel routine rather than threatening.

The passing bar for VMware Infrastructure with ESX Server and VirtualCenter is set at 70% / 300 scaled score, and registering for the exam officially costs $225-$250 USD. There is no reduced price for a second try: fail, and you pay $225-$250 USD in full again. That makes honest self-testing the cheapest insurance available, so hold off on booking until your ActualCollection practice scores sit clearly above the passing line, attempt after attempt.
