Why do my 1100 rated solutions get TLE?
Usually nested loops over n up to 2·10⁵, or clearing a large array inside every test case. Check the sum-of-n guarantee and reset only what you used.

Curated by Priyansh Agarwal, ICPC World Finalist and AIR 1 in Google Kick Start, this sheet features all essential 1100-rated Codeforces questions. With a Master (India Rank 34) on Codeforces and 4000+ students taught, Priyansh’s expertise ensures that this sheet will help you sharpen your competitive programming skills and make steady progress
1100 on Codeforces is Newbie level. People hovering around 1000 who get Div. 2 B only on good days.
What these problems lean on: Greedy with proof, Prefix sums, Frequency counting, Binary strings, Basic number theory.
The usual wall at 1100: Time limits start to matter. A correct O(n²) idea fails where n is 2·10⁵, so you have to think about complexity before you write anything.
How to practise it: Read n's bound first and decide the target complexity — 2·10⁵ means O(n log n) or better. Then look for the idea that fits.

Yes. Online assessment questions at most service and many product companies sit around 1000–1300 Codeforces difficulty, so this band maps directly onto them.
There is no PDF here, and you do not need one. All 31 problems are listed in full on this page, free and without an account — and unlike a PDF the list remembers what you have ticked off, so you are not re-reading a static file to work out where you stopped. Use your browser's print view if you want it on paper.
Tick a problem on this page and it stays ticked. Progress saves in your browser straight away with no account, and the counts update per section so you can see which parts of 1100 Rated: CP-31 Sheet you have actually covered. Signing in with Google syncs it across devices.
At roughly 25 minutes a problem — reading it, solving it and writing the approach down — 31 problems is about 13 hours, or 1 weeks at ten hours a week. Treat that as a planning figure rather than a promise; the first pass through an unfamiliar topic is always slower.
Yes, completely, and no account is needed. There is no paid tier and nothing is held back — the sheet itself is by Priyansh Agarwal, and this is a free tracker for it.
Finish one. Sheets overlap heavily, so working several in parallel mostly means re-solving the same problems while never completing a full topic sweep. If you are not sure this is the right one for the time you have, the sheet comparison page puts the options side by side with hour estimates.
