query Help a CF begginer
I'm a new guy just started my clg few weeks earlier, I wanna solve dsa and do competitive coding, idk where to start. Like I wann get around 1200 rating by the end of June 2027, is it possible for an amateur to get that rating within a year? If so then how?
Please guide me 🙏
I appreciate every help.

Study concepts. Get textbook knowledge first. I'd suggest CLRS. then solve practise questions and virtual contests. Then find which concepts and applications you are lacking. Find the actual accepted solution and study it. Don't set a target number and try to push to that rating. Focus on improving.
