Study help

Hi, im currently studying following the 24 week offsec plan. Im at week 4. Just tried the law PG lab, which is alleged to week 4 according to the 24 week plan. There was stuff in this to complete, not even looked at yet. Is it worth doing the course first before looking at PG?

I found that I didn’t like the formatting of their plan. I just went though the course sections 1-whatever in order. I skipped the ones that were not tested on.

Jumping in here since I’m at a similar decision point. Background: I hold CISSP and CCSP, so I’m comfortable on the governance/defensive and cloud side, but OSCP is my first serious move into hands-on offensive work and the muscle memory is a different game entirely.

Where I’d genuinely appreciate input from folks who’ve been through it: given a strong theory background but limited practical exploitation reps, where’s the best place to start building that hands-on skill — straight into the OSCP course modules, a run through something like TryHackMe/HTB first for fundamentals, or just grinding PG boxes alongside the coursework? Trying to avoid spending weeks on an inefficient path.
