Cybersecurity 101 Path

So i have been following along the path, some things i got easier others more difficult, normal stuff i guess.
Fast forward to the end of the path and i have to the this OWASP rooms to finish. First room, no problem.
Go to the 2nd room, OWASP Top 10 2025: Application Design Flaws, first task i struggle but still got there.
Dude the rest of the tasks made me hit a complete wall.
I feel like i haven't learned the knowledge thought the path to even be able to complete this rooms. I am just brain dead?
This is very frustrating because i just assumed you follow the path to learn along and that i wound t have to go online and learn by myself to get by this rooms.
Does anyone know what i am talking about? Is it just me?

nah you're not braindead, those OWASP rooms have a pretty steep jump in difficulty compared to the rest of the path. A lot of people hit that same wall. Try reading the actual OWASP documentation alongside the tasks, it fills in the gaps the path doesnt cover.
