Can someone help me by giving me feedback on how to improve my rating? I am feeling stuck, I am unable to improve myslef, which results in making me stuck in Grey. This is also making me a bit frustrated.
What I do for practice -> I am solving this Sheet currently. I am currently practicing 1000-110 rated problems. I have solved the 800-900 rated problems from this. What I do while solving a problem is --> I first try to implement the intuition that first comes up, then I am either able to implement it or while implementing I realize my intuition is not correct, and after this, I just get stuck on one intuition, I am unable to think of any other intuition, I still try to come with an intuition which is very similar to I previously thought of. if I am unable to solve a problem after thinking for 30-60 mins, I look at the solution.
There are many times, when I am unable to think of any intuition and then I right away look at the solution within 20-30 mins
Like in the last Contest 969, I was unable to solve any problem, I started solving A and got frustrated when I thought my logic of finding coprime triplet, was giving WA. Then after feeling disappointed, I was unable to solve B, even though solving B required just a bit of observation
do more 1000-1300 problems. And once you solved try to see the editorial to see how to solve it in a different way. If u were unable to solve one see editorial or watch a video tutorial and try to understand the concept by yourself rather than jump into the next problem. also upsolve after a contest.
+1 for upsolving
And maybe try VC-ing more div 4s and div 3s
what do you mean by VC-ing?
vc = virtual contest
