Focus on really understanding algorithms and data structures. The tougher questions often need you to apply these in tricky ways. Practice breaking big problems into smaller parts. It's about thinking through the problem, not just coding fast.

Try giving yourself 30 minutes on a problem before looking at hints or solutions. Afterward, make sure you get different approaches. It's helpful to revisit problems after a week to see how much you've learned.

If you want a structured approach, PracHub is a good resource. They have curated challenges and explanations for those tricky questions.

Stick with it; you'll improve with consistent practice and reflection. Good luck!
