How to become expert?
By TimDee, 2 months ago, In English

Hello codeforces! Can you give me advice on how to become expert? I'm training a lot, and getting very close to it, but i'm unable to cross the line to expert. Even though I'm trying hard (and I even got expert performance in today's round!) I'm barely able to get expert performances often. Please, those who can reach stable expert, give me advices on how to become one :(

Solve A-B-C fast, and hope no one solves D.

I think you need to be less intelligent to be expert. Because you're already $$$\color{orange}{\text{Master}}$$$ now.

Today was just some bad luck for you, you won't perform well or near your level every contest we are humans after all.

Also fast AB today should've been good i guess you just got B abit late + some WAs.

Also can someone tell me how to improve to the next step (reaching ranks like IM/GM), i think i barely reach Master from a div2 or something then drop.

Try solving more problems from this recourse: https://leetcode.com/ I think it can help everyone to reach expert and even specialist if needed.

Use the tourist late submit strategy, solve all the problems but submit them 10 minutes before the end, you will probably fall to expert, but if you don't, try the never submit strategy

    The never submit strategy isn't good. You can try to hack others with the samples. In this way you will gain a big rank, about 10000. In this way you will get to expert very fast!

You can study my strategy on EPIC Institute of Technology Round Summer 2024 (Div. 1 + Div. 2). It worked perfectly to go from master to expert in just one contest!

Just only do the first problem in every contest and then play Genshin Impact. Make sure it's the official version of Genshin Impact as any other game won't work.

    Does it imply that we have pirated / private server Genshin somewhere?

You have to lose at least 312 rating to become expert. So just participate in Div.1 and submit only WA submission

Only three steps.

1, enter a div1 or div1+div2 combined contest.

2, submit one random python file and get runtime error or compile error.

3, go to sleep.

If one time doesn't work, repeat above three steps for one more time. (2nd time you can also enter a div2 or educational contest since you must drop to candidate master on your first time trial)

Just try rainboy, and be sure to begin by the last problem, not a middle one.
