Towards Expert
Автор kittyK, история, 4 года назад, По-английски

Hi everyone . I practice from another account and can do 1600 rated problem by myself. Sometimes I cannot and then I read editorial. But in the contest time my most time is eaten by either B or A or any C that needs a quick observation . How should I keep practicing ? Normally I pick 1400 to 1700 problems and solve . But I don't know how to get the A,B in contest time fastly . Once I solved lot of A , B . and after that I could not solve C in the contest . How I can practice more efficiently or what mindset I should build in myself ?

I think you should solve mostly Div.2 C and some of the easier D questions and you'll naturally hit Expert.

And I think for A and B it's important actually to not rush and focus on reading the question carefully and not tunnel-vision on wrong ideas.

I think to care more about accuracy than submitting your solution fast, as a non-accepted solution costs 10 minutes of penalty. If you will be consistent and accurate with your A and B problems submission your speed will eventually increase. Also, if you can solve 1600 rated problems then pick the problems of 1700 to 1900 just don't too easy or too difficult problems. If you stuck for more than 45 minutes on a problem just see the editorial and try to implement it yourself.

Also, you can refer to this video of Erricto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7169jEvb-Y

I hope this would help.
