try to solve 2 problems on div2 very quickly (usually <20min), and that gives you a Pupil~Specialist perf. 3 problems on div2, gives you an Expert~CM perf. this list goes on and on, and it should help you on your way to mastery

    I did A and B Fast But C Noooooooooooo

    • 29 hours ago, # ^ |

      then trying to get a 2-solve stably is a quest for you now. 3-solve comes after a stable 2-solve, which should be very straightforward for everyone.

        I did A and B most of time in 15 minutes C Sometimes get it Sometimes Can't get it

    What does speedforces mean?

    • 15 hours ago, # ^ |

      speedforces.

      Just solve problems as quickly as you can because the ranklist is based on time (penalty increases with more time --> lower score --> lower rank --> lower rating)

      so the faster you are the better, even if you can't solve a lot of problems.

    Correct.

    experienced this for the first time in Codeforces Round #798 (Div. 2)

    I usually am only able to solve 1-2 problems in any contest, maybe 3 in Div 3-4. In this contest however, I was somehow able to solve these very quickly, and thus got a rank in 2000s, instead of my usual 7-10 K, and got a +154 (obv, dropped back down in the next two contests tho lol).

      The best one so far is Codeforces Round #794 (Div. 2), I was really fast on the first 4 problems, so I had times to think about E then get first place :))

I was gray and it was really difficult for me to solve 2-3 problems, but then i started solving various problems and learning a lot of new things using emax and some youtube tutorials. But general thing is that i started to participate in a lot of cf rounds to get experience in how to solve basic problems faster.

I hope i will become candidate master soon:)

    I hope that :)

    Really good graph bro some tips bro

    • 18 hours ago, # ^ |

      1. Solve all the rounds you can, regardless of the expected result

      2. Read all the problems and all the editorials of all the problems, solve what you can, and read about the new techniques that are mentioned in the editorial

      3. Try to quickly solve the first 2-3 problems and move on to 4 in half an hour after the start of the round (this requires a little experience)

      4. Read more about algorithms and data structures. Even if you don’t need anything, knowing a certain technique can lead to an idea for solving a problem

Usually, I can not solve Div.2E, so I just complete the Div.2A-D as soon as possible..... And then seat more than 1.5 hours on a chair just to do nothing but stare at the E

    How Do u Solve C and D Quickly its Very difficult for me

    • 86 minutes ago, # ^ |

      I thought maybe 50% talent, and 50% hard work. Actually, I have solved more than 2,000 problems in different plarform.

I used to go to problem-set and solve a bunch of low rated problems, and slowly started increasing the problem ratings...after I solved my first 1600 rated problem I started doing contests and and earning some ratings...I kept doing it until I got the hang of solving A and B quickly...Now I just do contests and always solve upto the target I set for myself (if I cant solve them during contest time then I do them later) and after all that I look at others code or the editorial to solve 1 extra problem on these contest (if I can)...I also randomly learn new algorithms/techniques when I feel like I need them to solve a particular problem (a few months ago I learnt dp and recently learnt segment tree)...Hope this is helpful :D goodluck brother!

  1. Solve A, B, C, D and E
  2. Become master
  3. Get overconfidence and lose 150-200 rating every contest
  4. Stop writing cf rounds
  5. Repeat

My "training" routine last 2 year

    But I Can't Stop Writing CF Rounds :"

1.Speedforces ABCDE in Div2
2.Gets Master
3.Throws the next Div1/Div1+2/Global round big time
4.Rinse and repeat

  • 16 hours ago, # ^ |

    But How Do U solve D and E Do u see editorial?

    • 16 hours ago, # ^ |

      I assume you are asking how I started to solve DE during a contest. The only time I read editorials is when it is an educational round, and I really hate reading editorials in general, so if I cannot solve a problem, I normally just come back to it later after grinding USACO guide for a bit.

  • Either problems way above my level until.. yeah

  • Problems of my level as to be able to learn to solve them as quickly as possible

Of course, there is the nuance that no one asked

to become a newbie do the following: - take part in the contests - try to solve as much as you can - cry because you sucks and can't reach pupil - try to upsolve the problems you couldn't solve it in the contest - give up upsolving and cry because you sucks and can't even understand the editorial - try to solve different problems ( to forget how you are a failure) - repeat this is at least my strategy and you can see its working

I practiced with problems rated up to ~2400. Then, I took a real div.4 contest but only solved A, hence I became a newbie.
