I had basically the same experience as the OP, even the same exact score. Have Ferguson's book, attended the Fast Track course (at a considerable cost, even though I'm a VMware partner), and took every online exam I possibly could (including VMware's and the software included with the book). I think both of those exams are doing a considerable disservice to students because those questions in no way resemble the ones I encountered on the exam. I thought I was prepared because all practice tests I took showed me scoring in the 90% range, but when I saw the exam before me, questions were completely different and many were just absurd. I was very disappointed in my performance on this exam, but understand from others that the blueprint should really be the study guide (even though Ferguson and the course instructor mention at several points they are "strictly following the exam blueprint").
I will go back and read all the documentation linked to from this blueprint, but I want to know are there any other study or practice test materials out there that more accurately resemble *actual* VCP exam questions? And I swear, if I see another question railing on the point of CPU affinity I'm going to scream! Why is this mentioned so much? This has virtually *no* practical application whatsoever, so I really fail to see why VMware insists on asking so many questions about it.
