Hello

I want to improve from 2500 to 2800 or 3000 (if possible). What kind of method do you use to improve from here? I feel like I'm stuck at my current level, but I don't know what exactly I need to do. Any advice?

No way. Each participant has a nature-defined limitation they can't overcome

I don't understand how you are stuck at your current level and haven't lost any rating points since becoming red. Do you measure it by VPs or something else?

As a person that'll try to make a last push back to 2800 or even 3000, I'll share my opinion on myself:

  1. Too lazy, more diligency is necessary. I'm not focused enough during contests and end up misreading a lot. Also not enough upsolving, I learned some concepts during this time but I haven't coded the solutions so sometimes it happens that I know that the concept is related to a problem without being able to apply it (for example I knew the whole idea for https://codeforces.me/contest/2135/problem/E1 during testing but couldn't solve it because I suck at reflection problems)

  2. Too shit implementation. Too many bugs, I need to be more active in order to be sharp when implementing longer solutions.

  3. Too afraid of what I don't already know. I must look to actively learn the things that I'm not good at instead of just accepting it. This is especially the case for the current CF meta that's drifted away from stuff that I'm good at.

You've practically just reached GM, as far as your graph shows you might get to IGM next year or so. You might already have what it takes to reach there but you've been risking a lot less rated participations than in the recent past. Just look back into your past results, you were doing a ton of contests but looking back at it your general trend was up and up even if sometimes you'd take a huge fall.

    Well it's true that I'm not participating like I used to, so I will participate from now on. Though university lessons took some time, I will try to speedrun them.

Speed is very important. Hard to reach 3000 if you take too much time for Div1A~C every time.
