Just finished your VCP5 beta exam and I have one small comment: this question "What the packaging format used by the VMware ESXi Image Builder?" is a little misleading. You may want to reword it since there are multiple right answers listed. Other than that, good job!

Also there is a question that states "Your colleague has accidentally allocated more vRAM than your company are licensed for. What will happen to your virtual machines?"
None of the answers are correct "All VM's will be Powered Off; New VM's can not be Powered On; VMware will be notified; Nothing will happen"
Per the pricing and packaging whitepaper; there is no technical enforcement of vRAM limits (except for free, Essentials, Essentials+ editions)
What will happen is vCenter generates an alert if you are out of vRAM licensing compliance.
The vRAM licensing is based on 12 month average usage.
So allocating more vRAM than your company has entitlement for does not bring you out of compliance until the 12 month average exceeds your licensed vRAM.
The most correct answer is "Nothing will happen", but it's not listed as such
So...did Test King blag these from you or the other way round?
Because all 50 of these questions are in the test king set and you've even included terrible grammar.
Take a guess...

I'm not an expert but I think the question "ESXi 5.0 supports only LAHF and SAHF CPU instructions?" needs re-wording.
ESXi 5.0 _requires_ those instructions, but it supports others (eg. POP/PUSH)
Wooh! Just took this test and passed with 60% considering we're still on ESX 4 and vSphere 4.1 at work. Pat on my back and thanks Simon.
Good stuff...scored pretty well on my first try
VM's swap file size is it's memory limit minus the amount memory reserved for it.
Distributed Power Management (DPM) requires which technology to be available on the NIC?
Wake On LAN (WOL) DNS BMC NetBIOS
I selected WOL on my Test King test exam and got this wrong and now i get it wrong on SLOG when i select BMC... I have my VCP 5 exam tomorrow... Can anyone confirm if this answer should be WOL or BMC? Both seem to be appropiate answers to me..
WOL
After an upgrade from ESX/ESXi 4.1 to
ESXi 5.0, your monitoring department are reporting that they have
stopped receiving Syslog data from all of the ESXi hosts. What could be
the problem?
1)Custom ports that were opened by using the ESX/ESXi 4.1 esxcfg-firewall command do not remain open
after the upgrade to ESXi 5.0.2)Custom ports that were opened by using the ESX/ESXi 4.1 esxcfg-firewall command do not do not get copied
during the upgrade to ESXi 5.0.
-> Doesn't answer 1 and 2 mean exactly the same?!
Your colleague has accidentally
allocated more vRAM than your company are licensed for. What will happen
to your virtual machines?
1)All VM's will be Powered Off 2)New VM's can not be Powered On 3)VMware will be notified 4)Nothing will happen
-> For Essentials answer 2 would be right, but for the other vSphere licenses it would be 4.
You listed the correct answer for the security of a newly created port group as "Reject, Accept, Accept". This is wrong - I just tested it with both VM and VMKernel port groups and the security was "Reject, Reject, Reject". However, I created a new vSwitch with a VM PG and the security was "Reject, Accept, Accept" so I think the correct answer is that a new PG will follow the security of the vSwitch.
Thanks Ed, I'll look into this.
iSCSI discovery methods is on the VMware practice test, too. Problem is, if you look at the actual vCenter screens, the tabs are Dynamic Discovery and Static Discovery, and under General, it lists "Target Discovery Methods: Send Targets, Static Target". The vSphere Storage Gudie says
Dynamic Discovery and Static Discovery, but also talks about SendTargets and static targets.
