Hello everyone, I have written a blog on blogger on a routine I used to follow while participating in contests and it has helped to improve my ratings from the 1300s to 2150+. I thought I should share it here as well. Hope you find it useful. Do let me know if it requires any improvement.
Note: I had posted it earlier but some readers got confused between giving contests and participating in contests. So, I have updated it.
