Studying for D-PDC-DY-23 (PowerSwitch Data Center Deploy 2023)
Can anyone who has successfully passed this exam give me some advice on how to study for it? I have limited networking experience at present, and reading through the official Dell training material is making my head spin. I don't do well with "video" (someone reading PowerPoint slides) - nothing really goes in at all that way.
I am also aware that the simulation portion of this exam is extraordinarily difficult, with scoring criteria being so specific it is likely to take multiple exam attempts before one tweaks one's answers to match the exact way Dell wants them. Any help in that regard would be appreciated. Alternatively, if Dell has revised the simulation portion to be more straightforward that would be awesome!
Thanks!

@Dell - Zwilliams I assume you're not answering my post but rather someone who replied to me and then deleted their reply.
A brief perusal of the recent posts on this message board strongly indicates that this exam is deeply flawed. I haven't heard of a single other Dell exam that has drawn so many widespread complaints. Is Dell intending to revise this exam accordingly? Exams should not require 4+ attempts to pass. Few of us have that kind of money to throw at certification exams.
Thanks.

@Dell - Zwilliams While I appreciate that you cannot discuss exam specifics on a board such as this, surely you can say whether or not Dell is doing anything about the flaws in this exam?
I have sent an inquiry to my company Dell rep about this but we're not getting much response from the Education group, unfortunately.
Thanks.
