W3 Schools gives you quizzes to help you make sure you know your stuff and have learned everything the right way.
4. TagByTag
I’m like Tag By Tag simply because it is a fast way for me to find the answers to my questions regarding CSS. This is a great reference resource. All you need to do is select a section of CSS that you need help with and you will be taken to a great help sheet to help you fix your problems. If you ever forget an attribute, style, or another syntax, all you need to do is check out Tag By Tag to find what you’re looking for.
