What kind of knowledge or skills are needed to solve 1500-rated problems?
By SHADOW088, history, 3 hours ago, In English

I've been trying to improve on Codeforces, and I'm currently aiming to solve 1500-rated problems. However, whenever I read the problem statements of some 1600-rated questions, I feel completely lost.

What concepts or implementation skills should I focus on to bridge this gap and make consistent progress? I'd love to hear your thoughts, advice, or personal experiences!

    Any tips on how to build it? I know practice is key, but what kind of practice should I focus on? Like, what specific topics or types of problems would help in building intuition?
