Any step wise problem list to increase rating and skills ?
By corpulent, history, 3 years ago, In English

Dear Codeforces Community,

I am not new to competitive programming but my skills are. I did basic CP 5-6 months back and left. But now I have seen one of my friends who literally blew up my college with his results. During school I used to like coding a lot, that was basic I know. But now I feel upsurge of inspiration to lets do something productive.

For this I need you guys to help me. I want to know if there exists a set of problems which I can solve to increase my ratings. I am currently doing CSES, but I found it mostly confined to interviews level. Basically what I need is proper guidance and problems.

Please don't judge me of my way to prepare, instead provide a better alternative or roadmap to increase my skills.

Brainless Idiot :)

Everyday someone asks more or less the same question.

It's funny that your friend's results literally blew up your college. LOL

For practice, you should refer to Training Guide. It provides a structured method to hone your skills.

At the heart of everything lies lots and lots of practice so remember that consistency is key and slowly but surely, results will show.

Side note- The blog attached is somewhat old so do keep in mind that if you comment on it, that would serve to revive a dead thread (and that's not really desirable).

Wish you a Happy Learning. :)
