How to give my best during the contest?
By beast_07, history, 4 years ago, In English

Hello friends! As you can see my profile, I am a pupil coder with rating 1311, but I think I should be a 1500+ rated coder(as I can solve problems with 1500 difficulty on my own). The only thing is that, I couldn't handle pressure during the contest and do mistakes. So can you please tell me, how should I stay focused and give my best during the contest?

I think I should be nutella, but I'm still 1512.

Sir, it doesn't matter what you think you are.

    Bro I just wanted to say that, I can solve problems with 1500 difficulty on my own. I just can't handle the pressure during the contest, that's why I am asking for help.

      Yeah everyone can solve a lot more on their own than in contest. I have a 50% solve rate for 1800 problems, but I'm still 1512 rated. That's life.

      Time is a thing that exists. Solving problems without time limit is significantly easier than with time limit.

      Both matter. And no, there is no magic. It is study and practice, several months and years of it.

I don't know if it helps you, but I train by trying to solve 1600 rated problems in less than 25 minutes. Yes, I time myself to improve my speed. It helped me to improve.
