Pls anyone who have reached specialist/expert level pretty fast help me out. Just tell me what you did that helped you reach there so fast. I promise will do the same. I wanna cross the pupil barrier pretty badly. Pls any good person out there help me out.
There's this coding trick called the telegram trick, some of my friends have used this trick for several contest and achieve expert rank xD
Thanks a lot i will definitely try that out :)
does it include you?
What is the telegram trick, in detail?
bro why are you giving this advice. it increases cheating in contest. play fair

Does it hurt?
Nope. It's my proud!!
thx, i'll add you in my friend:)
I think I just found my brother
After you strong enough to reach CM, open an new account to reach E in at most 5 contests.
Maybe I become lgm first then open the new account. I think then i can reach expert in three contests :)
I was strugling more in pupil than I am in specialist
I see. Is this your only account? You reached 1550 in 6 months. That's impressive. Do have any math background?
No infact ,maths is my biggest weakness I fumble almost all math based contests. I started during my summer vacation so I had whole day to grind problems and learn
I gave my first contest on codeforces on 13th October 2024 and reached Specialist title on 12th Jan 2025, i.e., in around 3 months. For topics and tutorials, I followed LUV CP Playlist on YT and my college's CP wing classes. I upgrade rating of problems I solve after solving 20-30 questions of that rating, getting comfortable at solving problems of that particular rating. Baki to I was a serious JEE Advanced Aspirant, so those problem-solving skills developed in math and physics help a lot.
My approach for attempting any problem: Reading->Understanding->Observations->Patterns Finding->Logic Development->Logic Feasibility Testing (this step is usually skipped in really easy problems)->Writing Code in C++ on VS Code
