After doing so much practice I am still not able to turn green, so I asked myself what I am doing wrong and so here is the list of answers I found.
I don't sit seriously for the contest for whole 2 hours, after just solving and apparently debugging the first question my mind gives up and I cannot think straight for the 2nd question. I try to concentrate and somehow after several wrong answers on pretest 2 and 3, I sometimes solve question 2. Now to become pupil either I should solve 2 questions fast or solve question 3, depending on the type of contest. I neither solve question 2 fast nor solve question 3. As a matter of fact I have never read question 3 in any contest(div2 +) , even after solving question 2. My rate of up solving questions is around 0.3(I up solve 3 contest out of 10).
The rating of questions I have solved average around 1000 across all websites. To pass pupil a knowledge of 1200+ rated question are required and I don't even solve them. Solving a large amount of questions feel good so I do that instead of solving questions that are of good quality.
I also lack in the department of consistency, after solving questions for 1 week the next week is just pure waste, and full of procrastination. The same cycle have been continuing for the past 8 months.
Last but not the least reason, I preferred writing this blog rather than solving questions.
Bye for now, now I go and try to work on the regions I lack.
wow you accurately describes my case and this doesn't make me comfortable
Damm!
Another reason why you are still a newbie.
On average people take 4-5 contests to reach Pupil as a starter in Cp. You Still have hope buddy!
On average people take 4-5 contests to reach Pupil as a starter in Cpwhere did you get these numbers
Only Alt accounts or people with good experience in cp from other sites reach pupil in less than 5 contests.
