Hello, Codeforces. I’ve been practicing regularly, solving 5-6 problems per day, but I'm not seeing the results I want. Could someone suggest how I can improve my practice? Is solving 5-6 problems a day enough, or should I be doing something differently? So, I can't reach PUPIL "HELP".Thank you in advance.

I am able to solve up to 4-5 problems on Div 3 round still cannot retain my pupil status. 2-3 years ago it would be easily possible for me to reach near expert with this performance. All this is happening because of cheating. Keep up-solving Div 4 rounds and Div 3 rounds upto 4 and 5 questions. And you will reach Pupil.

    its not happening because of cheating. I also solve 4-5 problems on div3, and I just had a 1780 performance in the last contest. either get faster at implementing your ideas or solve more problems. if you just cope and say its cheaters, you will never actually improve.

      "It is not happening because of cheaters" is such a nonsensical statement. Does not matter if I solve my last question at the last minute, I should still be able to retain Pupil.

Most of the problems you have solved are 800 difficulty, just try to do 1100, 1200+ problems.

solving 5-6 problems a day is more than enough if you are actually learning from the problems. if its just problems that you read and immediately know the answer and can write it in 5 minutes, there is no actual effect and you wont actually improve. try solving problems that are your rating +(200-400), so 1000-1200 problem.

if u want to get pupil,u just need to solve a,b in 50 mins in div2 or solve a,b,c in 50 mins in div3,so if i were u ,i will try to vp div2 and div3 everyday.

I agree that you are solving problems regularly, but you are only solving 800 rated problems. Solve 50-70 problems for a rating and move to next rating(900,1000,1100..). If you want to become pupil which is 1200, then you should solve questions upto 1200-1400, then there will be high chance of you becoming pupil.

I feel for you,I myself just reached pupil as the last contest went well for me .Apart from the cheaters inflating the ratings (its not in our hands except the rating rollbacks),I would suggest trying to solve higher rated problems ,especially 1200-1400 ones .

I was myself solving a lot of binary searching questions recently but in recent contests they haven't asked a single question of it.But easy to learn topics such as prefix sums,manhattan queries ,interactive problems etc. helped me out .Also there was a question of geometry in prev. div 2 contest ,I somehow managed to guess the solution by just implementing somewhat sensible ideas (although it took 1 hour).

All the best.
