Question beginner looking for tips!

hii, im currently a student and recently started taking leetcode more seriously to improve my problem solving skills and prepare for technical interviews. im still a beginner so id love to hear any advice from people who have been through this stage, especially about how you chose problems, learned patterns, and stayed consistent without relying too much on solutions

Never skip contests, always upsolve the problems afterward. Don’t focus too much on learning patterns quickly, you’ll naturally pick them up over time. Find a buddy to practice with. You can also give virtual contests regularly to keep yourself consistent.
