If you're new, I urge you to stop doing these things
I don't agree. Topic-based learning is definitely the way to go. As you mentioned, USACO is by far the best tool (free or paid) for cp improvement, and topic-based Codeforces gyms are good too. You should only solve random problems during contests or when timing yourself while solving a contest. It's much easier to recognize patterns when you have solved many problems on a specific topic. Sure, you might solve the same amount of problems by solving them randomly, but it's just not the same. You tend to forget certain problem types over time. You're correct that some topic-based courses aren't structured properly, consider this: Codeforces' easier problems (800–1500) are mostly greedy/ad-hoc or binary search. For a beginner, it's far more challenging to start by solving random problems, learn from tutorials, and then suddenly move on to 1600+ level problems—they will struggle so much. New Topics like graphs, bitwise operations, dynamic programming, and math will pop up which takes months of practice to master. They are just better studied in a structured, topic-wise manner.

Help a beginner · By MohamedHassan499, history, 7 years ago, I has been 6 months since I start to solve problems from any online judge (Codeforces was the first one by the way) but since then, I barely notice a difference in my problem solving skills from now and 6 months ago even I had solve +100 problem and every time I register in a contest (div 2 or 3), my rate always decreases by -90 or more, and even If I managed to solve a problem It would be an A only.

This was me few months ago now I'm consistently able to do 3 problems in div3(I know not good but its really good for me). Good command on your programming language. STL Just solve questions from 800 rating sort by no of submissions , if you feel the questions are getting easy move to 900 then 1000. After you hit 1000 rating on codeforces solve 1000 - 1400 rated problems sort by no of submissions Upsolve atleast one question in contest.

How should a newbie practice on CodeForces? - Quora
Answer (1 of 7): I believe hitting newbie was an important phase of my competitive programming life. This is when I gave up the idea of quitting! I, then, made a resolution to be at least candidate master before I stop practicing religiously. If you can convert English/Russian to code, you will...

How to Effectively Practice CP + Problem Solving Guide - Codeforces
I assume you already have some knowledge and know simple things like binary search and dfs/bfs, but read the footnote if you are complete beginner (never code, solved <50 problems, div2 A/B too difficult, grey or stuck low pupil). First, a quick tl;dr of the practice strategy before a bunch of specifics and explanation: In short, mostly you only need to use codeforces (no matter what contest you're training for), find a rating range where you can solve around ~30-40% of the time on your own, and just grind down the problem set tab in reverse order of id (the default sorting).
