1. Solve Problems at Your Level • Daily Practice: solve 5-10 problems each day that matched your rating. • Smart Selection: sort the problems by the number of accepts and started solving them.

2. Focus on Essential Topics • Learn Just the Basics: I concentrated on fundamental algorithms and data structures before moving to advanced topics. • Avoid Unnecessary Complexity

3. Balance Persistence and Flexibility • Think as Long as You Have Ideas: I gave myself time to solve problems on my own. • Seek Help When Stuck: If I couldn’t progress, I consulted editorials for guidance.

4. Learn by Doing • Solve First, Learn Along the Way: I learned new algorithms as I encountered problems requiring them. • Look at Others’ Solutions: Reviewing others’ code offers new perspectives and techniques.

5. Participate in Contests • Regular Participation: joined all available contests to apply your knowledge under pressure. • Upsolve: After contests, solve problems you couldn’t during the event to improve.

best of luck pro :)
