You need to participate in the Code Chef contests that are rated (Lunch Time, Cook-Off and Long Challenge). Along with them there are other externally rated contests as well. As of now, there is no contest going on which is rated. March Cook - Off will be there next on 22nd March from 9:30 P.M. - 12:00 midnight. You can participate in it to improve your rating.

Couple of sheets are lying on Google. One is the A2oj ladder and other is a junior training sheet v7.0
You can use those as a basis to begin.

If you are from India and can have your hands on a SPOJ list from BIT Mesra that’s good too.

CP Algorithms lists down relevant algorithms and their examples which are necessary for CP.

Don’t think much about rating as it takes time for progress to reflect depending on person to person… (long challenges allow plenty easy move ups even for novices)

Practice is key.

It depends on your performance, you’ll have to start from division 2. As far as I have seen, solving 3-4 (In Cook - Off) problems will get you to a 3 - star.

Nope, you can’t have a team for it. And remember, don’t try to cheat during the contest otherwise you might get stuck in Plagiarism.

Just see here -
https://www.codechef.com/COOK116?itm_campaign=contest_listing
Till you don’t become a 4-star, you’re in Div. 2, when you’ll become a 4-star or more, you’ll get into Div.1 There are some problems different in Div.1 and Div.2 and Div.1 is tougher than Div.2, well that’s the difference !
EDIT - thanks @ssjgz for so many upvotes !

You don’t have to choose, and there’s no registration for the contest. When the contest will start, the problems will be visible to you in the Dashboard. Also, you can view the problems in both the div.'s. (Try clicking on any of them, you’ll get information about how the contests work)
