I joined codeforces on 16th May and it's 16th August today, It has been 3 months and I have no progress. I am still 3 digit rated. After giving every contest I am still not improving.
Is it really not for me ? Am I really 69 IQ ?
I bet no one in this world would get as little progress as mine if they practiced this hard.
Also the number of cheaters have risen significantly, impacting newbies like me.
Even after rollback I got no positive delta, It's disheartening.
With that I believe I will have to quit codeforces forever.
Goodbye, may'24 — august'24 cp journey
awww
I am still newbie after almost 2 years....
Same issue here, but I slightly keep getting better the more I solve on my own, here's a tip if you want to increase your rating (for newbies) only join div 3 and div 4.
(PS why do you copy and paste answers to codes? maybe that's the issue you're not actually solving problems on your own)
what do you mean copy and paste
If you’re solving problems rated 1900, 3200, etc., there’s no way you should still be a newbie
least obvious troll
just get good
Are you really leaving?
You solved 60 tasks in 3 month. It is like 3 tasks in 2 days. ALso, only 25 of them have rating <=1500. In fact, I don't think that if you are solving one task per div, you can solve 1500+. To be honest, it is far away from hardcore practice. You should try to solve 800-1000 rating problems by yourself. And if you cannot, try to get hints from tutorial or try to understand tutorial
just Practice Practice and Practice...
I found A2OJ Ladders very helpful..
I practice many questions from This List and now I can solve 1-3 Questions of Div 2
bruh this person said they were leaving like 2 months ago here: https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/130362 and they never left.
hmm I wonder why totally not to farm negative contribution?
