Becoming a Pupil is like reaching Mount Everest for me.
By ankushtyagi, history, 8 hours ago, In English

Feeling sad that I am not able to become a Pupil even after giving my best. Can someone let me know how I can improve my performance in Div2 contests?

I realized one thing about Codeforces. To become a pupil, you must be very strong at coming up with greedy ideas with PROOF and implementing the code effortlessly without making any wrong submissions. Pick 40 greedy problems from 1400, 1500, and 1600 each. PICK PROBLEMS MOSTLY FROM RECENT CONTESTS!!. Attend every single contest that is happening and upsolve until C. By the time you complete this, you will be a PUPIL. IMPORTANT: For each problem you solve, you must derive a PROOF.

I hope it helps.

Don't Give up bro. I know it is very depressing. I used to feel the same, even after solviing 500 questions it was hard for me to remain pupil. But I will say keep on solving problems without thinking about the rating, its like a threshold limit , when once you will surpass that threshold limit, you will be pupil and more. Keep on solving problems. Wish you the best
