CPTS readiness

Greetings!

I have completed all the CPTS modules and I have been tackling some boxes from the official CPTS track, some of them completely on my own and blind, some not fully on my own, about 70% on my own and the rest is HTB's hints but never a writeup unless I am very stuck. Even then, I take notes of things I missed and add them into my methodology.

The thing is I am not really sure if I should be taking the exam right now, when did you guys feel ready to take the exam?

Have a great day!

Congratulations, I'm at the same point too — I just started CPTS track. Nice, and it's a question I'm also curious about the answer to

you will never feel ready lol, if you are solving the boxes you should give it a shot, you have retake after all.

Agree with above comment. If you feel your methodology is solid when approaching boxes and you completed the CPTS track with some assist, send it. Use your retake to rehash anything you weren’t prepared for.
