USA Computing Olympiad Guide

The USACO Guide is a free platform that provides resources to help students prepare for the USA Computing Olympiad. It includes a comprehensive collection of problems, editorials, and guides to help students improve their problem-solving skills. You can find the USACO Guidehere.

We have attempted to keep this site as self-contained as possible, but there are some topics that are not covered in detail here because they are covered in the USACO Guide. The most important section for BIO students is the section ontime complexity, because many of the editorials on this site mention time complexity, and it is important to understand how to calculate it to solve problems efficiently.

Perse Coding Challenge

The Perse Coding Team Challenge (PCTC) is a UK team-based programming competition for secondary school students in Y11 or below. It is a great starting point for those new to competitive programming and provides a pathway to tackling harder BIO problems. Find the problems and grader here.

Sourish Sharma has created model solutions for every past PCTC problem. Check them out on hisYouTube channel. We added this to our website because it aligns with our mission to help students improve their coding skills and prepare for competitions!
