So close, yet far.

So, my question goes out to those whom are 1400+, how exactly did you start getting the required performance (avg. 1450-1500) in contests? Im currently practicing in 1300-1600 range, can consistently solve A + B under 10-15 mins but i get slimed on C, i know ive posted a similar blog but this time im asking for more general advice rather than C problems. Appreciate <3

Solve 1400- and 1500-rated problems until you have at least 70 solved problems in each rating. However, choose the problems carefully. Avoid very old problems; try to solve problems from roughly the latest 50 contests. Also, do not select problems based on tags yourself before solving them. I highly recommend using this: https://www.acodedaily.com.

And here I'm struggling with 1200-1300 rated questions. How can I improve enough to solve 1200-1300 consistently within 30 mins?

    Im in the same boat as you man, honestly just keep solving and it works out. Also, think simply and try to observe stuff

" can consistently solve A + B under 10-15 mins but i get slimed on C" Your contest history shows otherwise though, you seem to solve C fairly consistently.

highkey just solve harder problems and you'll get better. try instead of 1300-1600 go out of your comfort zone and try 1700 problems
