I had a process of practicing and trying to move from a newbie to a candidate master, but I realized that I was still stopping at D-E div.2 (difficulty about 2300). Now, I want to improve more so that I can at least achieve International Master or Grandmaster qualifications. Can you give me some suggestions?

Could you share your process for practicing for people like me? till D-E div2.

Man I saw your submission and you have solve this problemYet Another Yet Another Task around 100 times and all having different codes(different idea). I am speechless! Do you do like this for almost all the problems?
He solved all those problems with a time difference of <1 minutes between them. Now I wonder how he did it. Because to think of a completely new approach for the same problem and writing code for it will obviously take time more than that.
MonsieurV, you said that you tried hard but actually we wanna know how you approached?
for example, how many problems you solved? which type of problems did you solve when you are a newbie? how did you learn fast solving div2a,b? etc.
please write a blog about your coding approach.
Yes, of course. I will make a blog about the training process to go from newbie to (be it International Master or GrandMaster) after I finish my goal.
Just do what you did from november to january once again, then you are red. And please tell me what you did, I would try that, too.
I will try as I have done before, and of course, when successful, I will share my experience with not only you but also many others.
This blog might be useful
Thank you very much. This article will be very helpful to me in the future
Wow!! This blog is so amazing...I've been looking for something like this since longgg
Oh, I just had an idea. What if we worked together? If we practice together, we will get better results Let's make a team
beautiful graph :)
I like that idea. I m right now doing 1900 rated problems (mostly D's of div 2) and will soon start to solve the E's. I try to do as many questions as possible without looking at editorials. I used to do at least 10-15 Ds per day. But, for the past 2-3 days, I had to take a break because of my college exam. After that, I didn't have that much motivation left, but after reading this, I am motivated to do more problems. THANK YOU!!
btw, they are already in a team :D
Yes, I tried to invite him to the same team before
Hi, how much time do you spend per day that you are able to solve 15 ques of 1900 rating per day ?
sometimes even like whole day(12-16 hrs) but i m getting better
Man that's insane. I can't give 10 hrs per week. I need to practice badly. What motivates you to practice more. I simply can't. Everyday, I try 2-3 problems. Solve them on a good day. Even can't solve a single one in a bad day. And then I can't do more. My mind gives up.
Actually, I only spend 6 hours a day practicing
u r doing cp like for 2 years and i learned c++ in Jan 2020 i have no time so i have to work hard
what do u think which rating range should i practice for becoming candidate master because i am using same strategy as yours but i am solving at least 60 question per rating.
Oh of course. We were in the same team but we never practiced together. I think if we practice together, we can go further
wow, your chart is so pretty, how do you get to the CM in just 10 contests?
