Need Advice CPTS Progression
So basically I've done ceh and ejpt and thanks to ejpt i knew metasploit and other basic penetration methodology. So i started cpts around 35-40 days ago, i was going all slow and trying to learn everything, obsidian copy paste everything as everything was so detailed and deep. Then the pace changed, especially on web related stuff like php, file inclusion and all that i skipped their labs completely and only read the theory to understand some concept. At one point also because i was frustrated how badly configured their academy labs are at password cracking module, no matter what i did, even after htb own walkthroughs i couldn't get the flags peacefully. (I have tried their non academy labs and they are amazing!) So basically i got into the- read the theory and skip the labs mode, only will do the AD and priv esc labs. Rest I'll skip. Then when the cpts path is completed, I'll do all the easy and medium labs on htb and thm and then attempt exam. Is this the right way? Am i doing something wrong?
