Road to Blue
By decoder__, history, 4 years ago, In English

Hello Codeforces, By the end of this year I want to get stable blue(expert). How should I practice? Presently I'm fluctuating in green and don't know how to get out of it. Also would practising on other OJs will be beneficial? I'm determined to achieve blue but don't know how to get ahead. Please help

      There is no specific roadmap..

      What works for some people doesn't always work for everyone else.

      no. there are blogs which are specific like this this & this. Googling stuff is an underrated yet very important skill.

    In my opinion,practicing on multiple OJs would make you a more experienced and better competitive programmer in general,as practice always helps. As far as rating on Codeforces is concerned,in order to achieve higher rating,you need to solve more problems on Codeforces,as Div2 A,B,C problems are more adhoc in nature,as compared to problems on other OJs which are more algorithmic in nature. Once again,this is just my opinion. I myself have a lot to learn and improve..:)
