Hello everyone!
I hope all of you are doing fine in these hard times(peer pressure, hiring and covid and how big of a mess 2020 was).
So I wanna apply to the Google STEP program. Just started Leetcode, I'm really having a hard time here. I can't solve basic problems without looking out the solution(whats worse is that I can quickly understand the solution but never come up with it, which leads me to developing bad habits like memorizing answers for questions). I have 6 weeks left before the application round starts and I'm really desperate to see how to deal with all of this. I really wanna improve but this habit of memorizing answers is way stronger than me(especially that it's the way we are assessed in my country). I'm sure there is someone here who had been in a case similar to mine, so please I really need your help and your advice to get better while improving my problem solving skills.

Thank you everyone! Have a good day
