I'm wondering if USACO the best place for Candidate Master journey. I know it's competitive and well-structured, but how does it compare for those of us focused on reaching that elusive CM title? Is grinding USACO a good pathway, or should I focus more on specific CF problem sets?
USACO and codeforces are quite different. I'm stuck in USACO silver rn, and I've seen some specialists say that they're in USACO gold.
im one of those as i suck at math and usaco is algo-based
And then there's me, also stuck in silver :')
And then there's me, also stuck in silver :(
yeah i know but i consider it as a resource do u have any other resource to develop
I mostly practice on codeforces tbh
Solve 100 div2 As, 100 div2 Bs, 100 div2 Cs, 100 div2 Ds. To become purple you just need to solve ABCD consistently and fast.
From recent contests or did you follow any ladder of some sort?
From recent contests will give you a better understanding of what problems look like nowadays. But older problems are valuable as well.
To become purple you just need(must) have high IQ
100d is not enough for cm we need more
You have solved 13 problems of rating 1900. You can't expect to reach a rating when you have ~10 ACs on problems of that rating range.
what do u suggest to me what range I should solve
I've seen that you solved a lot of problems, and not only easy ones. I think you need to improve your speed. You could try doing virtual participations on div2s and div3s and focus on solving ABCs as fast as possible. I saw that in the contests where you solved ABC, you were slow in doing so. Also, you can practice 800-1000 rating problems (div2 A range) and try solving them in ~5 minutes average. That's what I did a few years ago to improve my speed.
so I have to give virtual contest and solve abc fast are you sure this works I am going to do that
Trust me. You will reach green and then cyan by solving ABC fast consistently. After that, you start worrying about Ds. I'm currently solving ABCDs consistently, not always Ds as fast as I would like. I need to be able to solve Es now, to reach Master, so that's what I'm practicing. Just Es. When you're confident about solving ABCs in 30/40 minutes, start practicing only Ds.
The problem is that i solve A,B consistently i rarely solve C in DIV 2 what should i do more !!
I have also same problem
I dont think its just about solving 100 questions of each rating, its more about wheather you are able to use concepts you have learned while doing these questions.
I have seen many users just solving 20-25 question max for each rating before moving on and many who have solved approx 100 for a rating but still being stuck there(yeah me included), ultimately it is true everyone can improve but number of questions depends person to person, its more imporatant to understand more and think more then to do more questions ig...
USACO and codeforces are correlated but very loosely. I'm USACO Platinum but only mid-expert. I know someone in USACO Gold who is master, someone in silver around the same rating as me, and someone who's platinum and still a pupil.
edit: i also know a master who's in silver but he took the contests at 3am so thats probably why
