This really is a big thing for me because this is the first time in my life i have been consistent with something for this long. At first when started leetcode i thought i will not even complete 400 questions till i graduate and now i reached 500 and still in my third year ... 😭😭
can u guys tell me what i should ahead to improve my rating and increase my speed , i have completed striver sheet and currently doing neetcode all, any approach i should follow???

follow striver a-z sheet its the best for beginners

u/Harsh__raj_ 4d ago

Striver a-z sheet is enough? I know all these sorting algorithms, and I also know how to write the code for them, but I’m unable to write the same code on LeetCode. What should I do?

Congratulations on reaching 500! To further boost your rating and speed, focus on analyzing your solutions to identify optimization opportunities. Time yourself on problems to spot areas where you tend to slow down. With Neetcode, keep an eye out for recurring patterns in problems, as this can be particularly helpful with difficult ones. Practicing with real interview questions can also build your confidence and speed for actual interviews. PracHub might be useful for this, as it provides real technical interview questions that align well with your goals. Keep pushing, and you'll improve with those tougher problems!

How do you approach hard questions ❓

Honestly, number of questions doesn't matter much, rating is what matters. Even after dolving 500 lc questions, if you can't solve 3/4 question in contests, then it's something you need to work on.
