How to start a successful CP career?
By fahadhossainbabor2103114, history, 9 months ago, In English

Hello everyone,

I am just beginning my journey in Competitive Programming (CP) and have already acquired the fundamentals of C++. Now, I am eager to build a successful CP career. Although I have started solving problems with an 800 rating, I often struggle to solve many problems during contests. I am uncertain about the best path to follow and how to improve. Could you please provide me with some guidance, recommend essential topics to cover, and help me kickstart my CP career?

I discovered the following strategy very late, but i think i am slowly improving, THE STRATEGY, 1) start with 800 level in Problemset , solve 50 questions increase the level by 100. don't just solve the problems for the sake of hitting 50 on current level, try to solve slowly while practicing analyze various methods of solving problems and various methods of implementing it ... take all the time you need to do this properly. 2) Analyze and improve your thought process, by literally writing your thoughts down while solving problems. 3) follow above points for now ... can't reveal all trade secrets as this is COMPETITIVE programming my friend (just kidding).
