- If the student has a target to compete in the programming competitions like ACM-ICPC or Google Codejam or Google Kick-start or Facebook Hackercup, so it's recommended to start with Codeforces sheets, but if (s)he has a target to practice on a specific topic or preparing for an interview, so it's recommended to start with HackerEarth and HackerRank sheets.
- On each one of these sheets has an excel sheet to record your effort and enhance your progress, The time estimate for level problems is between 30 min to 45 min for each one, including reading time, thinking time, coding time, debugging time, and learning time.
This level simply consists of ten sheets, four sheets of them on Codeforces Online Judge, plus four sheets on HackerEarth Online Judge, and the last two sheets on HackerRank Online Judge.
The prerequisites for level 2 of this training are the basic knowledge for Data Structures and Algorithms like (Linear Data Structures - Non-Linear Data Structures - Basic Algorithms - Searching Algorithms - Sorting Algorithms).
