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 Site: https://c2-ladders.com/ Its basically a newer version of the older A2OJ ladders with newer, more difficult, problems.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,

In practice there's a big difficulty gap between problems A and problems B in division 2 codeforces contests. The difficulty rating calculation is not accurate and there were a few blogs about that. Any problem A pretty much automatically gets rating 800 in most cases, so it's just a meaningless number.
