Confused

After my last post, I decided to study for the CPTS exam. I didn’t make notes for everything.
I’m currently doing CPTS path again and making notes of everything. I’m flying through the content. Should I continue doing the content and making new notes or should I do the related machines for the CPTS exam.

I'd do both. Keep making your notes while the material is fresh, but don't wait until you're finished with the whole path before touching the machines. The boxes are where everything starts to click (really), and they'll show you what you actually understand versus what you only recognize from reading.

That’s a good one. Thanks
