## Skipping Around
|
||||
## Pre-Release Notice
|
||||
|
||||
Skipping around is especially recommended for higher level contestants (Gold/Platinum). Feel free to <TextTooltip content="Find the dropdown at the top right of this page!">mark a module</TextTooltip> as "Skipped" and come back to it at a later time!
|
||||
This guide is in the _pre-release_ stage, meaning it is not yet complete!
|
||||
|
||||
For lower level contestants, the guide is generally designed to be completed in order. However, feel free to skip certain modules and come back to it later. In particular, **you may want to skip the General group** ("How to Practice," "Contest Strategy," "Additional Resources," and "Contests") and read it later.

Please help us complete this guide by **giving feedback using the "Contact Us" button**<Asterisk>It's located on the bottom left of the screen. If you can't see it, open the hamburger menu by clicking the icon on the top left of the screen.</Asterisk>! You can give feedback about anything:
|
||||
|
||||
There are some exceptions; for example, the last module in "Silver -> Sorting" assumes knowledge of the first two modules in "Silver -> Ordered Sets & Maps." In any case, we will list **prerequisites** to each module as needed.

- Unclear Explanations
|
||||
- Missing / Bad Problem Solutions
|
||||
- Typos / Broken Links
|

- Suggestions

||||
- And anything else!

## About This Guide

|
||||
### Guidelines
|
||||
<warning-block title="This guide is NOT a syllabus!!">
|
||||
|
||||
Topics on this guide reflect _past_ problems, not _future_ problems. Contest problems may contain topics that aren't mentioned in this guide, and topics that appear in one division of this guide may appear in lower divisions in future contests.
|
||||
|
||||
</warning-block>
|
||||
|
||||
- For Bronze, Silver, and Gold contestants, we aim to be a "**one stop shop**," meaning that this is the only site you have to use to be exposed to most (if not all) of the topics required for Bronze - Gold.<Asterisk>Of course, you should still use other websites as necessary.</Asterisk>
|
||||
- **Don’t Reinvent the Wheel**: we'll link to online resources that already exist whenever possible instead of rewriting tutorials ourselves.
|
||||
- **Not *Just* a Collection of Links**: We'll provide notes and star certain links to help you choose which to use and which to skip.
|
||||
- For Platinum contestants, there are too many topics for us to effectively cover all of them.
|
||||
- We'll try our best to cover the main topics, but if you want to do well in Platinum, you will have to find additional resources on your own in addition to this site.
|
||||
- Platinum modules may have more vague explanations compared to earlier divisions. If you're confused, you'll have to research the topic more on your own.

- Difficulty ranges from "Very Easy" to "Insane." Difficulty is **not** comparable across modules (even of the same division).<Asterisk>Difficulty refers to how challenging a problem is after reading the module, not how difficult the problem is in general.</Asterisk>
|
||||
- "Intro" refers to a problem that just asks you to implement a standard algorithm or data structure.
