Is it normal to struggle at the beginning?
By Sdererskull, history, 5 months ago, In English

Hello everyone. I recently started competitive programming with the aim of reaching expert by the end of this year. Yes I made this account along time ago, but I just made it for no intentions back then. I actually started this year but I couldn't really grind due to my exams in the middle. But recently I am struggling even with 800 rated problems, specially those from Div 2. I saw many experienced accounts and saw them usually placing sub 10,000 rank in div 2 contests when they were starting out as a newbie. So is it normal to struggle with questions, specially finding a solution or observation?

extremely normal , but it's also important to analyze what's going wrong rather than being emotional

    I am also stuck at 1000 for the past few months, could you have a look at my profile and help me analyze what is wrong with my practice and give it the best direction?
