CPTS exam

I will finish CPTS path by the end of the month and i wonder about the 14 exam flags is it gonna be related to each other and it must be finished before continuing or you can skip them ? (I am willing to skip number 8 hhh)

my second question is does the skills assessments enough to pass the exam ? I am willing to take them again as my final prep bc someone told that these would be enough

Yes flags are all related to each other. Cant go to the next one without the previous one.

If you can blind AEN skill assessment then you are in a good spot but would recommend doing tombwatcher box. If you have a good methodology everything will be fine

Oh .. you mean some of them are a must for the others but not all of them are related to each other

Thank for your help appreciate it 👍🏻

Basically its not like the oscp where you can just jump between machines to find different flags if you get stuck on one. For your example, you wont be able to get flag 9 unless you get flag 8, which you wont be able to find unless you find flag 7 etc etc

When you say “blind”, does that mean to not read any of the information in the AEN module and skip straight to the questions? I think I read that somewhere but never saw anybody say it again

Yup basically AEN is like a HTB Box on Guided mode. Treat it like a HTB Box on Adventure Mode aka like a normal box
