      Quitting after before reaching Master is useless as gpt-o1 can solve easily upto 2000 rated problems.

Two ways I suggest: 1.have a DIv3 virtual contest every night and solve at least E even if you don't solve other problems 2solve as many Div2C's as possible

The reason is you are solving problems only rated 800.

The solve count shows valid concern. With this amount of solves you should at least be able to code easy problems fast and precise? Try taking that to your advantage, and solve Div2A+Div2B in 25-30 minutes (Div2A should only take 5-10) without wrong submissions? (or Div3A+Div3B+Div3C in 20 minutes).

If you practice the problems in your comfort zone, that couldn't be considered as practicing. That's why you barely improve after solving nearly 1k problems.

    I partially disagree on this. Especially for a newbie, intensive "practising" at lower levels, albeit a bit wasteful, helps them a lot in implementation speed and accuracy if done right.

I am also a newbie with a worse rating than you but if it's of any worth...I took a look of the problems that you have practised and you have WA in quite a few.I would suggest always returning to problems you haven't solved.

  1. Solve harder problems.
  2. Try small cases by hand.
  3. Write brute force solutions if you are not able to solve. [Do something instead of nothing]
  4. Reduce the problem to sub-problems.

I took the challenge of solving 100+ , 1200-1600 problems. And it is working quite well till now. You might try the same . I started from 1200.

If anyone feels your pain of not getting a green color after practising a LOT (look at my profile;)) then it's me! But trust me you'll reach pupil really soon :') Here are some tips that helped me become finally pupil:

-upsolving the 1-2 easiest problems you did not solve during the last contest you did.

-try to solve a and b as fast as possible and do not overcomplicate them!

-Go out, touch the grass and enjoy life! This i probably the most important one! You seem to already work very very hard but i think you would also benefit from some free time off screen and i found out that for me personally it even improves my cp performance!

But please don't be sad because of your rating there are more important things then it — like enjoying cp and codeforces! All the best to you! :) (Also very sorry for my bad english — it is not my first language)

Bro, just subscribe for ChatGPT and learn how to prompt. I'm sure you will be cyan or blue in no time.

I'm surprised on how no one actually mention this on comments.

Here is your motivation: Ansh_007

I am guessing you read editorial much early without giving that much thought or recalling similar question you solved before. Another thing is turn off the problem tags and start practicing B's and C's without thinking about rating and problem tags.

I haven't looked deep into your submissions, but it seems like you have problem with implementation. In form of practice i recommend going back to problems you weren't able to solve doing the contest, and do them (even if it takes long time, this problem is worth much more for your development than few random ones). Also it's kind of sad that people who practice as much us you cant even get out of noob :( (IMO there should be a rank between noob and pupil)

Solve the problems from this course: https://codeforces.net/blog/entry/131164

Extra tip: Don't read the solutions. Spend time and solve them by yourself.

Have a strong ability to solve simple tasks can support you to get Specialist(or experts if you are lucky enough).And for those problems,practise makes perfect.

You can try A-D od every Div2,most of them don't need difficult tricks.Think carefully before you read solutions.
