Simply, you must find the best move or sequence of moves in the position. Sometimes it will be something that forces checkmate, sometimes something that wins material. Usually after solving the tactic the final position will be winning for the side you are playing moves for.
Purpose of Chess Tactics?

Sometimes I feel like tactics end too early. So let’s say I have a tactic that is 4 moves long but then the problem ends after 2 moves and if I can’t solve it and click solution I’m just confused.

@Dragon As far as I know there are no alternative solutions on chess.com. Hence, the tactics only continue as long as there is a SINGLE best move, which can be confusing at times. If you’re confused, use the engine for analysis after the problem is finished.
Generally, you should end up with at least 2 pawn advantage. So, count the material before you solve a puzzle.
Usually it is to find checkmate, other times you need to find the best move for the position, or checkmate will be coming in a few moves. As for which in particular scenarios, I don't know.
chess is 99% tactics you train tactics you get better at chess is simple as that
So, I'm a very new chess player and I recently tried out the "Tactics Training" section. I'm slightly confused as to what the win conditions of the problems are. There are situations where checking a king will solve it, but then the king could simply get out of the check in the next move, yet the problem is considered resolved. There are other problems where the king isn't checked at all and yet the problem is considered resolved.
Could someone please explain to me what the exact win condition of tactics training is?
