How to reach 1400+ rating
By A_N_O_T_H_E_R, history, 3 years ago, In English

Some time ago I used to do competitive programming a lot, but unfortunately I didn't do it a very long time. Now, after the break, I realized that cp is the most interesting thing in my life and want to develop this skill a lot and reach at least 1400 rating by this winter. Please say which topics I need to know and what ranking I need to have on the contest to reach this goal. And please sorry for my poor English.

Try to learn and train the basics first, like:

  • Brute Force
  • Divide and Conquer (Binary Search)
  • Greedy
  • Dynamic Programming
  • Basic Graph

Make your own daily targets (like, minimum number of problems solved per day)

I did those things when I was grey, and it worked for me

To reach a 1300-1400 rating you don't need to learn any new topic select the difficulty level from 1200-1400 and try to solve as many problems as you can until you won't reach a 1400 rating.
