I am currently stuck at the newbie level. I can barely solve Div. 4 A and B problems, and most of the time I don’t even understand the problem statements properly. It feels like I am not improving at all.

Some people suggest solving 1100–1400 rated problems, but the issue is that I cannot even understand many Div. 4 A and B problems, let alone solve them.

So my question is: what resources should I use to reach at least the Pupil level? Or should I completely give up competitive programming and focus on something else instead?
