What Am I Doing Wrong?

I am taking WordPress Theme Development. I am passing tests. My answers are intuitive. I get many correct answers just by finding the best logical answers. It works. That makes me feel sad. I need my answers to be based on knowledge, not guesses.

I am just watching videos and reading transcripts. Am I missing something?

Do you have courses where I have to do exercises and check answers?

How comfortable are you with applying what you've learned to your work? How far can you go with what you've learned?

If you are not challenged you should move forward until you don't even have clue what they are talking about. Then start from obtaining that knowledge and applying.

Learning from official documentation is also great way to enhance your understanding.

I think, I am taking the wrong course. I will still finish WordPress Theme Development. I want to have a bigger picture.

I want to design and sell WordPress sites, not to develop Themes. I think, I need to take Web Design course, but I cannot do graphics.

I still would love to know if there are courses here at Treehouse that will allow me to do exercises.

Thank you for taking time to answer my question.

Exactly. I took a full PHP course about a year ago. May be that's why I can answer questions. I probably should take JavaScript.

Many thanks. I will go back to my lessons now.
