Personally I won't be available **regularly for problem solving for around 2 or 3 months due to academic pressure . But I don’t want to lose speed . What’s your practice method to keep your speed without giving your full time and energy for solving problems ? Currently I have a plan on doing a 1 hour speed contest daily , nothing more .

My current goal is solve a ,b under 30 min and c under 1 hour to get d .

Agree or disagree , plz put your valuable comment :D

1) im not participating contest for a while , my goal is to solve as many quality problems as i can solve ,learn new topic unless i faced to learn . i found not efficient to participating contest unless i solve huge range of quality problems . another reason is to not being rating oriented before learning required things . i observe many red coders they hardly participate in contest like once 1 month .

2) my practice is fully based on cf due to good editorials , im aware of that cf focuses on observation skill . i want to solve at least 100 problems for per range , like 100 problems range (1600-1700) , 100 for (1700-1800) upto 2000 . then switch to different oj like codechef,at coder etc , Its a good approach ????

3) i found that only dp and graph is enough to be a purple . i learnt a lot algo in Your title here last 2 years , but my observation skill sucks .so i focus on prbs like constructive algo as well as graph and dp . currently i'm not learning completely new topics . i only learn new topics unless i would face that kind of problem to solve during contest . is this good way ??

I have a realization . I want to change my offline practice approach . Correct me if im wrong , just want your kind opinion !

I grow a bad habit not to solve easier problem , which are needed just implementation or observation . i focus more on advance topic . if you stalk my profile u would see i solve prb related to dp,graph,segment tree etc . And most of the offline submission problems are range (1400-1700)

what bothering me is this i cant solve div2 a,b quickly and hardly solve div2 c during contest . though i can upsolve problems div 2 (A to D) as i keep learning advance topic . i thought regular participating contest would do the work for me ,so i keep solving harder prb (offline practice)

As a result my practice does not create any change in my ratings .

So im gonna practice parallel prb solving strategy . do one or two 2 hour self made contest , problems which are really easy and rest of the time solving slightly harder problems .

it would be beneficial ?? want to add something ?
