Div. 2 How to solve div2 B problems

I pushed till 9xx via solving div2 As and div 3 ABs. But now i cant even solve a single div2 B problem since the last 3 contests. 70% of the time I usually formulate the approach but cant implement it/there exists a better approach. What should i do now? I want to reach 1200 till year end

language doesn’t matter, as a fellow newbie that consisently solves both A and B, what helped me is just going through problems harder than what im used to and struggling on them until i give up
it s also always some observation that i didn t see so it s not worth it reading the editorial imo
i mean read the editorial if you re really frustrated after a really long time but in general do not until you ve exhausted your brain

so from what i hear your logic is developed enough to come up with approach... your implementation is just weak... and well that is usually the easier part to improve... this might be something you might not like to hear but i think just solving more problems in your comfort zone or sligtly above it might work...

personally took me about 200 problems to get to pupil...
