This is how I usually study:

  1. Virtually/Officially participate in contests. Try your best.
  2. Check uses with rating you want. Now I'm around 1900-2000, so I want 2200. My ultimate goal is to have >=2600, but not now. So I check people with rating 2100~2300. I recommend that you add them as friends, so it's easier.
  3. Check how they did in the contest. In the last contest (Round 305), I noticed that a lot of those with that rating solved B/C, and it means that I have to solve them during contest.
  4. I work on those problems.
  5. Repeat :)

I tried a lot of methods, but I like this way the most since I can find problems that are both challenging and approachable.

At the same time, you should work on past problems from your regional, since problem style in ICPC is usually different from codeforces.
