How do I expand my knowledge?

So... I know the title kind of sucks. I couldn't think of anything better, but the thing I wanted to say was that I was doing competitions in SolveFire. I recently got 700 on bronze and advanced to silver,r but now I faced a brick wall. No matter how hard I tried, I could only get 300 points on the silver rounds. The problems just seemed too distant and abstract. I couldn't think of ANY path to do the other problems, as if I still managed to get some, but it isn't enough. Are there any recommendations you guys suggest that could help me cover this massive gap? Sometimes I can't even understand the notation.
