I'm wanting to play more then chords so I started practicing the pentatonic scale in A it says the notes are A C D E G but I'm playing 12 notes what Re the notes I'm playing starting on the fat string

Pentatonic scales are five note scales. You are probably playing that pattern all the way across the fretboard which would give you two octaves plus a few, which is why you're playing 12 notes.
Play the scale from A to A. That should be six tones. A C D E G A.
Playing it all the way across the fretboard is good practice. You just need to know where the root notes are so you know where you can resolve your licks.

So without looking it up, that's 1-b3-4-5-b7-(1), right? Regardless, I'm guessing that's MINOR pentatonic, because of the b3?

YESSS! I rock! Well, I occasionally teeter back and forth a bit anyway.
Maybe some of this theory stuff is starting to take hold. 
Thank you.

Yup. I just didn't want to confuse him as it appears he's just starting out.
