Practice more
Okay, that's the ultra fast magical solution everyone hides from you.
PRACTICE.
Can you please tell me how to do practice and which level questions should I solve? It would be a great help. Thanks
It has no specific rules, but if you are bad at rounds then do more virtual contests and upsolve them.
If your rating is currently X try to solve problems with rating [X — 100, X + 200].
Again, these are not rules they are just suggestions.
ok.thanks for your help
How much time should I give to one question before going to editorial?
There is no fixed number of minutes, but let's say 30_45 minutes.
Bro check my rating graph, far more lower than yours sometime 5 months before. You only need practice for increasing rating and learning new concepts.
oh!! Can you please tell a resource from where should I learn necessary topics? It would be a great help. Thanks a lot it gives me motivation
Resource as such was not there, solve problems, If you cant even approach the question see the editorial and learn new concepts involved in the qs(if any) from cp-algorithms...
ok thanks
How can you increased your rating?
only solving A and B isn't enough for increase your rating..sometimes try to
solve C and Dalso..and learn necessary topics and dopracticefor that.Can you please tell a resource from where should I learn necessary topics? It would be a great help.
Just quickly perform an All-Kill in any contest.
But how?
How much time should I give to one question before going to editorial?
That depends on the difficulty of these problems. When you find a problem challenging, ask yourself whether it's "impossible" sort of challenging(then go to the editorial immediately to learn) or it requires more thinking(In that case, think for 10~20min, if still cannot solve, check the editorial and make some notes).
Practice more and believe in yourself. :D
