Rating jumping
By Dannypa, history, 3 years ago, In English

Hello, friends!

I've got rating changes +93, +120, -107, -50, +143 in last month. Why are they so huge? Aren't they supposed to be like +20, -11, -23, +60 (one time in a month!!), +21?

Has anyone experienced something like that? Is it okay? Why is it happening?

P.S. I got a feeling that the post will get downvoted...

Big(well, not small, by absolute value) rating changes are usual for me)

It could suggest your skillset is not distributed that equally-you are very good at certain topics, and not so good at others. However, given how observation heavy Codeforces rounds are nowadays, I have seen this sorta graph multiple times, as it is likely to go on a wrong turn and just miss an "X" observation. This list goes on...

My personal advice would be to do some virtual contest, and analyze your strength and weaknesses.
