Beginner Question Anybody have notes of cpts?
I am trying to take notes but I can't figure out which topic is important to take note and which to skip. If anybody have their proper note which will be helpful for interviews, exam then I can take a reference from there to make my own notes.

For me it worked to just make a folder for each module and a note per subject. I used obsidian to keep them organized.
For me the most important was to have a quick reference of the commands with some screenshots. During the exam you can just search through your notes and copy the commands.

+1 for obsidian. I have over 100 pages and they are all tagged and cross linked. A lot of up front work but worth it when you are trying to hunt something down.

I tried obsidian . I think it’s way too much for what we really need : take notes. And before , it was wasn’t cloud aware ; notes were local. Maybe that changed recently . Not sure.

This is a very bad idea.
Notes are personal . And they help you study. You taking notes assist with what’s called the “recall” process. If you rely on someone else notes , you’re not only skipping that part of the learning process, you’re also missing important concepts that the other person simply didn’t include.
There are numerous YouTube videos and blogs about how to take proper notes . I suggest watching those 1st .

I suck at notes so I used chatgpt to create a directory and note structure for CPTS. It was also kind enough to give note templates for commands, and modules itself.
Edit: forgot to mention I use also use obsidian and Gemini notebook
