How to improve yourself faster???
By Arthur_Weng, history, 4 years ago, In English

I am a Chinese student. I have been learning Competitive Programming for a year and a half. However, I usually feel that I am improving slower than my classmates. I have tried competing in some of the contests of Codeforces. However, the results are not very good. How can I improve myself faster?

  • Try some problems that are a little bit difficult for you.
  • Read editorials if you can't solve a problem for a long time.
  • Find a partner to study with.
  • Stop learning useless algorithms, go and learn binary search!(

You improve on codeforce slow because you don't solve much problems, may be you solve problems on a another website then it could be because you don't focus on improve the topic you weak at but it show up in contest regularly, like few month ago I stuck at newbie until I decided to focus on solving greedy/construct problems
