Hello Trailblazer,
Congrats! If you’re reading this, the CPQ Specialist certification is in your sight. If you are feeling nervous or anxious, I totally get you. After getting 6 previous Salesforce certifications (Admin, Advanced Admin, App Builder, Einstein Analytics and Discovery and Discovery, Nonprofit Cloud, and Sales Cloud), I consider this the most challenging I have ever faced.
Although there are great resources to study, I highly recommend creating a developer org and have hands-on experience practicing creating different products and pricing scenarios. Create products and bundles with things you have at your reach (fast food combinations, tiered pricing on streaming services, etc.).

CPQ Trailmixes in Trailhead
Yes! Trailmixes are great to get your hands on scenarios and learn more about a solution.
I personally loved these trailmixes because almost all modules have a practice part that can get you more to feel the CPQ experience.
