I am writing this blog to share my happiness with you all wonderful, genius, amazing and hard-working people on Codeforces. I became a specialist after today's contest. I know this isn't that big of an achievement but I am so happy that I just wanted to share this happiness.

As of now I only know C++ STL, binary search, basic number theory and basic bitwise operators. What topics should I study next and what resources should I follow? Also please share your practice strategy like how much time do you give on a question and if you are unable to solve, after how much time you look upto editorial??

Thank You and All the Best!! Wish you Good Luck!!
