I've been in poor status recently, and it may continue...
funny
Could be worse: I got stuck due to local stresstests telling me I'd WA, so I didn't even get to submit for FST or try the next (sometimes easier?) problem.
(sigh/cry)
That's better
Once I was FST 4 in a row too, and I lost the belief in myself. I decided to take the "hair challenge" and hope that I will regain it. (Although it takes much more time than I think, since it is not as easy as getting Expert or Specialist).
Even red programmers didn't survive from FST. (Codeforces Round #792 (Div. 1 + Div. 2))
Relatable, I had FST in 3 of the last 5 contests I joined
Many people also used the same wrong approach though...
Even though pretests could indeed be stronger, I would still blame these FSTs on my own skill issue ._.
It certainly feels bad to get FST and see ratings go bye bye, but I think it's better to keep your eyes on the future contests and keep a good mentality in order to perform better in those.
Yes, you are right. I will try to do that. Thank you (^ω^)
I've had an FST in 3 out of the 4 last contests I've done. Although kind of a skill issue. :/
People averaging <1 FST per contest in 2022: skill issue
