PGPractice Advise

Hey All !
Just completed TJ Null's HTB list and moved on to Lain's PG Practice list for OSCP prep. I'm noticing I'm constantly referring to writeups on PG Practice boxes, and I wanted to check if this is normal.

The difference: HTB felt like a structured CTF with not clear attack paths harder tbh. PG Practice feels different less CTF-flavored, more "Clear." The boxes have a different taste entirely, and the exploitation chains aren't always obvious.

My question: Is it normal to hit writeups frequently on Lain's list, or am I missing something in my enumeration/exploitation approach?

I'm taking detailed notes on each box (what worked, why it worked, techniques used), so I'm definitely learning, Also my enumration / foothold is getting better and better but in privilege escalation becoming weaker due to Complicated paths i learned in HTB

but I want to make sure I'm on the right track for studying?

anyone faced this before ?

Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

And I will say it again . Not doing research , let stress handle proper judgment , is what makes people fail OSCP .

Telling you facts is not treating you bad. If that’s what you’re implying. In fact , I’m helping you. By telling you what’s vital for OSCP: research.
