You are not learning, also your way of practice is not clear. solve +100, +200 rating problems, solving easy doesn't make you learn anything, solving for speed is choice. try greedy maths implimentation and binary search problems you will reach pupil

  • As far as I know, to get to pubil you need to be one of the fastest people to solve problems A, B of div 2 or A, B, C of div 3 (if you are slow, you have to solve 1 more problem)
  • So my current strategy is to try to solve all the problems on codeforces from 1200 -> 1400. A problem is limited to 15 minutes to think about. If it doesn't work, read the solution and move on. Other problems.
  • The reason it's only limited to 15 minutes is because I value quantity over quality (I want to solve 7-8 problems in this time, rather than spending 2 hours solving just one problem). , this also stems from the fact that I think our brain is a machine learning model and for it to solve a problem we have to train it with a lot of data.

P/s: Currently I have solved half of page 1 of 1200 — 1400 codeforces issues. If I complete ~12 pages and reach pubil rank, I can prove that my method is correct

    I don't think you HAVE to be one of the fastest people to solve problems A and B of Div. 2. I think you just have to solve them in maybe under 50 minutes and try not to lose points (resubmission, wrong answer, TLE, etc.) Also, if you can solve the first two problems of Div. 2, you should be able to solve around 3-5, most of the time 4, Div. 3 problems.

      You're right, it's important to solve the first problems quickly and with few errors

Sure , I am not a mater. But I have a strategy. try to compete ind div3 and 4. also keep solvig problems that are hard for you. this will teach you and sharpen your skills
