What to do a week before an ACM contest?
By PlayLikeNeverB4, 11 years ago, In English

You have been preparing for months and it's finally here: the last week before the competition. What should you do? There are a few scenarios that come in mind:

  • Just relax for a week so you are well rested for the contest
  • Keep practicing until the day of the contest
  • Keep practicing until 2-3 days before the contest

Which do you think it's best? Please share any advice you can give. Not only for me, but for all of the competitors.

Thank you in advance!

It's individual, but our teams prefere to write a training at the day before the contest. It really helps to make a lot of mistakes BEFORE the competition. What about the week, we train in a normal way. Sometimes we recall some hard algorithms and data structures.
