Hi, I am very new to CP and have just started to complete problems from C2OJ ladders. Site: https://c2-ladders.com/ Its basically a newer version of the older A2OJ ladders with newer, more difficult, problems. My issue is that I can consistently solve 800-900 rated problems but can't manage to get any 1000+ rated problems. (I know the rating is low :( ). I don't want to look at the solutions because I feel like I am not learning anything and the problems don't require any knowledge I don't already possess. I just can't seem to "**see**" the solution. Should I look at the answers? How can I, for lack of a better word, "**see**" the solution consistently without looking at the answer?

I know I am just beginning, so pardon my ignorance.

Thanks,
