I have been stuck as a Newbie for a long time and don't know how to improve further in competitive programming. Sometimes I feel like quitting because despite putting in effort, I don't see the results I expect. However, there is still an inner spark that keeps pushing me forward and makes me want to continue. I would really appreciate advice from people who were once stuck at the Newbie level but eventually improved. What changes helped you grow in competitive programming? Please help me out... Sorry for my poor English...

I have been doing Competitive Programming for a while now and have solved a good number of problems (mostly 800–1200 rated ones). I try to be consistent, and I’ve also participated in 25+ contests, but I still find myself stuck in the newbie range. Sometimes I get stuck on problems even after solving similar ones before, and during contests(div-2), I am not able to solve B problem regularly. I really want to improve and reach Pupil soon, but I feel I might be missing something important in my learning process.

What should I do to get out of newbie and improve my ratings?
