2 For that rating what should i do?
3 is there any OI problem list sorted with difficulty?
4 is it possible to crack in 1 year & get a Bronze(?) medal
Or any advice for me to prepare me for IOI (if you want)
pls forgive me for my bad english
Okay, (And your english is not bad)
1. Start OI Problem Solving: Aim for a Codeforces rating around 1300-1600 before diving into OI problems.
2. At ~800 Rating: Focus on improving basic algorithms and problem-solving skills. Practice regularly on Codeforces.
3. OI Problem Lists: Check resources like OI-Related Online Judges, USACO Training Pages, and Codeforces Problemset.
4. Achieving a Bronze Medal in 1 Year: It’s possible with dedicated practice, structured study, and regular contest participation.
Additional Advice: Join competitive programming communities and seek mentorship if possible.
