I'm not sure if you can know if you're ready for OSCP or not. But I can tell you there are many resources out there that can help you prepare for it.

Some people prefer to do OSWP before OSCP to have an idea of how Offensive Security do their exams before taking the OSCP but it's up to you, it doesn't really matter in my opinion.

Check out the course syllabus to have an idea of what skills you need. As a lot of people say, you don't need to know how to code but it definitely helps.

Lastly, there are some web attacks in the course so it is still important to learn about SQLi, XSS, etc.

thank you, which subjects are more important ?

It really covers a lot of ground so I wouldn't say one subject is necessarily more important then another. As mentioned already, OSWP will give you an idea for how OffSec does their courses and exams. Also eJPT might be a good place to start to help you work through a methodology so you don't get a totally lost at first with OSCP. It's definitely a lower level exam, but it'll still teach you a lot of fundamentals and how to go about enumerating and attacking machines.

Topics include web based attacks. All topics are important for the exam.
