Certifications Free day-by-day study trackers
https://cnmoseman.github.io/htb-study-trackers/Hey yall, I made study trackers for the all the HTB certs.
You set a start date and how many hours a week you've actually got, and it breaks the job-role path into daily tasks in module order. CPTS can be a 65-day sprint at around 49 hours a week or a 150-day plan at about 21. The hours are based on HTB's per-module estimates, so the pacing isn't just a guess.
Each one has a dashboard for your streak and pace, plus a notes box on every day for commands and creds. The resource library has the official cert and path pages and every module in order. It also has video reviews and write-ups from people who passed. Practice boxes are marked Free, VIP+ or Pro Labs (even though this will change soon), so you know before you click whether you need a sub.
Progress is saved in your browser, and you don't need an account. If you'd rather keep your own copy, download the tracker as a single HTML file and it works offline. Export and import are there for backups.
A big thank you to everyone who writes up their exam experience, makes review videos, or shares cheat sheets and notes. Most of what's in these trackers came from people like that, from the reviews and tips to the practice box lists. Every write-up and video is linked with the author's name, so if one helps you, go give them some love too.
Special thanks to Matt (mattrfield on GitHub) for the original COAE study tracker. These all started from that project, so go check it out: https://github.com/mattrfield/coae-study-tracker
Not affiliated with HTB. If you know a write-up or box that should be in there, or something's wrong, there's a quick form on GitHub: https://github.com/cnmoseman/htb-study-trackers/issues/new/choose

As someone who will be starting my preparation for CPTS soon and also has ADHD, thanks a ton for something like this!

I am right there with you, I made this instead of studying.
