2. Keep practicing note
Curriculum complete ≠ stop learning — schedule next cert or deep dive honestly.
3. Ship
capstone-lab-path.md. Next: Evidence Pack.
4. What you ship: capstone lab path narrative
M1–M9 journey + primary cert + keep practicing paragraph.
5. What you record before the next lesson
Lab path path.
6. Wrong vs right: exam dumps vs YOUR honest study plans
Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.
Wrong
Narrative credits dumps for pass.
Right
Honest lab path narrative. Next: Evidence Pack.
Mission: lab path narrative
