Hi,

I recently came across Keshav Dhandhania on Quora on how to prepare for the IOI if aiming for gold, and I was wondering since I already have about 3 years of scratch (Programming language), how long would it take me to become an IOI gold medalist if I learn C++ in maybe a month or a few weeks since I know scratch already, what would be the first thing I should do, should I only learn algorithms and not data structures, how should I prepare for USACO bronze, how to get to USACO summer camp, what websites should I use if I'm going to be aiming for IOI gold medal? This is my first year attempting competitive programming, I have a deep, deep, passion for computer science, it's sort of like an addiction, I've coded with scratch for 17 hours one day, how would a driven person like me get an IOI gold medal with no math procurement awards?

P.S here's the link for the post I seen on Quora if ...
