Solution:
Hi! No worries, it's not a dumb question at all—this gets asked quite a bit.
Currently, Laracasts doesn't provide "practice tests" in the traditional sense (like graded quizzes or automated tests) as part of their course subscriptions. When Laracasts refers to "practice," it usually means coding exercises and code challenges that accompany some of their series.
Here's how you can find and access practice material:
-
Episode "Code" Tabs:
On many episodes—especially for popular series like Laravel From Scratch—you'll see a "Code" or "Download" tab beneath the video player. Here, you can download starter code, solutions, or follow along with the episode's source files. -
"Laracasts Kata" Section:
If you want interactive code challenges, go to the main menu and look for "Kata". These are short hands-on exercises separate from the main courses. -
Reading/Notes:
Some courses have "Notes" tabs with further reading or suggested exercises. These are more about guiding your self-study. -
Community Challenges:
Occasionally, the forums or episode comments will have informal challenges or prompts you can try yourself. -
No Graded Quizzes:
At the moment, there are no multiple-choice quizzes or formal practice tests as you might find on other platforms.
Summary:
The "practice tests" referred to in your subscription are mostly code-along exercises, "katas," and downloadable starter projects rather than automated or graded quizzes. For Laravel From Scratch and Livewire 3, check the tabs below the videos and the Katas section for practical material.
Tip:
If you're looking for community-made quizzes or extra practice, search the Laracasts Forums as other members sometimes share their own resources!
