Once you have finished your design documents, you then have to prepare the supporting documentation. The length of this task is very often underestimated by aspiring candidates, who either rush the job to make the submission and possibly have their application rejected due to incompleteness or miss their submission date.

This post expands on that and focuses on the meaning behind the “syntax” of the questions; a “VCDXese” dictionary if you will.

VCDX – Mock Troubleshooting Scenarios
This post provides two example VCDX mock troubleshooting scenarios that you can use in your VCDX preparation. The PDFs merely provide a scenario that you and your mock panel can leverage and build upon. When the candidate asks questions, the mock panel will have to fabricate responses on the fly.
