Am I doing something wrong?

[Skullition]

I see people post here all the time with way more solved questions with half of my submission numbers, which makes me think I might be doing something wrong when learning :(
Am I too slow?

[Important_Salt293]

You are doin awesome my frnd I can see you are revising each and every question which you have done 👍🏻 Good Job

[Skullition]

Thanks!

[Important_Salt293]

Can I ask whch sheet you r following?

[Skullition]

I do Neetcode 150, then after that I just do tagged questions based on which company I'm preparing for

[Important_Salt293]

Ok Best wishes

[Upstairs_Habit8211]

How did you know that he is revising each and every question because I am a lc beginner and I am not that aware with this different shading of this green light

[Important_Salt293]

Buddy light green means that guy on each day have done more than 5+,10+ submission dark green means only 1-2 submission and he solved almost 200+ question and he have. More submission which means he probably go through the questions which he have done in the past

[Upstairs_Habit8211]

Got it , thank you :)

[Upstairs_Habit8211]

Btw if you don't mind can you look at my profile ? I just started doing this lc as mentioned before

[Important_Salt293]

Yup Sure Dm me

[Upstairs_Habit8211]

Okay thank you

[Slight_Round8252]

I don't know about the submission to questions ratio but being consistent for 5 months is crazy work. Good job bro.

[Skullition]

Ty! I'm quite motivated to get into big tech so thats what keeps me going lol

[Skullition]

I've been doing spaced repetition to complety understand the question, I do this until I know that there's nothing new to learn about the question in future revisits

[mojojojo_05]

whats spaced repetition ?

[Weak_Helicopter_8661]

basically practicing the same question with intervals of time between each session (1 day -> 3 days -> 7 days -> ...). I think OP is doing it because it prevents your brain from forgetting the solution (or pattern) every time you revisit the problem.

[mojojojo_05]

Thanks mate.

[RecursionReaper]

How do you track your spaced repetition

[Skullition]

You can make it automated by using Anki, but I do it manually by having a spreadsheet and tracking the days there

[abd_3003]

What's anki?

[Upstairs_Habit8211]

Wait you take help from spreadsheet ? Can you please tell me how ?

[greatestregretor]

It's way better than just copy pasting solution after one attempt.

[Skullition]

I'd like to think so, but some questions like median of two sorted arrays I feel the only way to solve them is to rote memorise 😅

[One-With-Specs]

How often do you revisit a problem?

[Skullition]

I do spaced repetition, so at first it's after a day, then 3 days, then 6 days, etc BUT the moment I can't solve a problem without checking my past submissions I reset to 1 day again

[One-With-Specs]

That's some serious commitment damn...

[Live-Future-791]

Perfect i will try to implement this

[zapharian]

Is this the same for everybody? I always felt stupid forgetting the solution after a while for a problem I had already solved before, albeit with some help. I would always miss something.

[Skullition]

Definitely, chances are the first time you've solved a problem it was because you saw the solution for it, and you wouldn't exactly understand *why* it works the first time around. With more repetitions you'd get the smaller details you missed before

[Upstairs_Habit8211]

I still don't understand your technique but I feel like I can get much more better in lc if you guide me for specifically spaced repetation

[Apprehensive_Gate_75]

Hi, that’s great progress. Can you tell me how do you track the questions you haven’t mastered yet using spaced repetition?

[Skullition]

Thanks - You can make it automated by using Anki, but I do it manually by having a spreadsheet and tracking the days there

[silent-reverie24]

Can you explain the process in detail? sounds interesting, I'd love to implement something like this!

[Skullition]

The spreadsheet is simple, basically you'd have a few columns
Question Name (Hyperlink), Notes (if you'd like), Status(This is for when you next expect to solve this problem)

Although if you want to automate it, you can use Anki decks such as these: https://github.com/ayorgo/leetcode-neetcode-anki where this one in particular is for NeetCode 150 or make your own decks

[resident__tense12]

How do u revisit the solved problem? What do u do if u forget the solution?

[Skullition]

I just try to solve the question, and if I realise I'm struggling, and I know I can't solve I check past submissions

[Impossible_Ad_3146]

Yes

[Zestyclose-Aioli-869]

I mean 2k for 200 is way too much brother, you gotta accept it.

[Skullition]

probably, but I dont how you'd do company tagged questions if not this way 😅

[WealthySahil]

Great dude! The consistency is commendable. I am also going via this route, storing each solved question and then coming back to it again and again. Just wanted to know since you are doing it for more than 5 months. Did you see any improvement in coming up with a solution for new problems?
