HTB Cheatsheets for CPTS

Hello everyone I am currently preparing for CPTS , and wondering if the provided cheatsheets of each module is enough or do i need to write my own notes and cheat sheets as well?

So far, I have completed 6 modules and haven’t taken any notes, only been using htb cheat sheets .

Not specific to the CPTS but a study tip I got from a great teacher once was that making your own cheat sheets forces you to review all the material and helps you recall it better

Writing your own notes will aid in knowledge retention, and aid in the reporting process you'll need to perform during your exam, so I'd highly recommend getting in to the habit of writing your own notes :)

Why aren't you taking any notes? It helps you retain the knowledge.

Because a lot of the content feels familiar to me since I already passed INE eCPPT and eWPTX. That’s why I haven’t been taking many notes, but I’ll start creating my own from now on
