You can upsolve 1 or 2 problems after contest if you can. Try to do harder problems more that will help you to improve. Also you can try out cses problemset if haven't yet.

HI you have to start with easy problems then try harder ones and learn topics that will help you with solving problems such

STL`s, Prefix and Suffix sums, Binary Search, Number Theory, Graph Theory... but what is more than learning topics is to solve problems on these topics to improve your thinking and coding skills here is some problemsets that will help you with that

Complete Training this have topics names with a problemset for each topic

Sheet Mostafa Saad this sheet divides problems into A B C.. problems

Short statements short statements problems divided by rate

Ladder this ladder divides problems by rate

you can start from 800 when you solve from 10-15 problems and feel that this rate is getting easy you can go higher
