In this video I outline how other people helped me fast track my progress from USACO Bronze to USACO Camp, and how you can take some of the ideas to fast track your progress too.
Advance USACO divisions in a matter of weeks: [ Ссылка ]
Other people are often great motivators for me, and I've found they are great motivators for most USACO Finalists I talk to also.
The key is you want to pick people around the same level as you, so if you are in USACO Silver, pick someone also in USACO Silver.
You also want to make sure you truly believe both of you have similar intelligence, so if both of you are in USACO Bronze and they solve a Bronze problem that you found quite hard and were unable to solve, the fact that they solved it should lead you to believe you are capable of solving that same problem. This will lead you to attack that same problem again with vigor.
This was key for me in advancing from USACO Gold to USACO Platinum in a month. I thought it was a normal thing to do because I (mistakenly lol) thought one of my friends had done it. This allowed me to accelerate my USACO progress, and hopefully you can use this to accelerate your USACO progress as well.
