I've been stuck in cm for over a year. I've put much effort but things don't work out as what I expect, and I even became an expert in Friday's edu158 (after my D failing system testing). Although I regained my rating last night, it was still quite frustrating. It seems I am not making any progress, and the feeling of continuous failure goddamn kills me.
Have you been through this? What should I do?
Solve more hard problems, maybe?
You can compare your solve graph with mine, it's not much better than my counts tbh.
Thanks, it makes sense. I used to solve lots of easy problems to make myself feel good, now I have cut it off and focused on problems ranging 1900-2600. Hopefully this will make some differences.
I would say that more importantly, up to 2300, 2400 and 2600 are not very important at this stage.
Thanks a lot! I will consider this seriously:)
where can you see this graph?

How to become CM? I was an expert a few years ago on my alt.
I think it is helpful to solve some hard problems, just like how AshrafSustS19 has put it. For now I am solving problems ranging 1900-2600, because they are not too easy, yet not way beyond my ability. I used to do this wrong and solved a lot of easy problems, so it took me 11 months to reach cm.
Actually, now I strongly feel that solving a lot of easy problems enables me to quickly solve A, B and C (and even D) during a contest, but it will be really hard for me to solve E because of this training method. However, it is clear that when you are aiming for a higher level, you have to solve those hard problems in an official contest. So I think focusing on solving hard problems can do much good.
me too
Thank you dude
solve more 2000-2200 rating problems. I don't even know how but I have solved 116 2000 rating problems. These problems in this range are pretty fun to solve, and you could also try solving 2000+ rating problems on atcoder if you get tired of cf problems
Great. I've been away from atcoder for quite a long time. Maybe it is time to pick that up:)
Congrats on becoming a Master!
Sincerely thanks, bro:)
