Doing front end track, should I put what I have learn into action?

I'm almost done with css and I'm afraid that Im going to forget everything I have learn, should I stop from proceeding the track to try out what I have learned, or just I just have faith that I'll remember?

That depends in my case I moved along with the track. You don't really stop learning css after you finish the css section of it. Even when learning jquery and JavaScript you still end up going back to your css and html files. The track adds on to what you already have learned so that you can see how everything works together. Once you finish the track I recommend doing a project of your own. You will not remember everything you learned but because you already have an understanding of it you can quickly look up how to do things. It's a matter of practicing it over and over again.

On the other hand if you have a project in mind already it would also be very helpful to start it already and use everything you learned and add on to it as the track continues. At the end of finishing the track I wish I had done this to begin with because it would have helped much better learn the material.

Another quick note is that even after you finish the track you are still going to have to learn many other things and this is where using documentation comes into play. you don't have to feel like you need to memorize everything as that is what documentation was created to do. With time you will remember most things but sill still find yourself reading a lot. Good luck hope that helped a little.
