With all due respect to the OP, I just find it hard to believe that this thread isn't a troll. If it isn't, my apologies.
Is my jump in rating unprecedented?

The respect is certainly due and your apology is accepted. I try not to hold any grudges, so, I wish you all the best with your Chess.

Recently, I have experienced an incredible jump in my blitz rating.
I was rated 782 on December 5th, and today I am rated 1075. That is a rating increase of 293 points.
I was so impressed with this achievement that I began to analyze how impressive it is. I was of the opinion that my increase from 782 to 1075 (293 points), is equally as impressive as a GM going from 2500 to 2793 (Also 293 points). But then I got thinking, my rating jump is arguably more impressive since I am a beginner. It is easier for a GM to improve because he is already an expert.
How impressive is my rating jump in reality, and how does it compare to a GM jumping in rating by the same amount?
Thank you for your input in advance.
false it is hard to get a big jump when you are a gm since the players are SO GOOD

Using the numbers given in the example above, the GM's Elo has risen just 11.7%, whereas Vlad's rating increase is a whopping 37.5%!
But - as a wise woman once said - "haters gonna hate". How poignant those words sound now.

If his rating had gone up from 1 to 2, that would have been a +100% increase. Would a rating of 2 make him the next Bobby Fischer? You make the call...

Doh! You've cleverly pointed out the flaw in my reasoning

I have arrived at a detailed model of the relationship between acquired knowledge and ratings improvement that maps the amount of improvement in the quality of decisions made in terms of discrepancy from perfection for players of all ratings.
It turns out an increase from 782 to 1075 corresponds to an increase from 2574 to 2574.1

Your model appears to be flawed. I'd say it corresponds more closely to 2574.00001.
so doe sthat mean if i had a rating of i and i went to 1500 does that mean i went up 14900%?
To support or not to support... That is the question.
interesting how not everyone realized this is a troll thread...
I take offence to this comment. I understand that there may have been a degree of naivety when I first presented this topic, however, it was an attempt to learn where I stood in terms of my progression. I found it discouraging, especially to newer players, that when they present their ideas or questions they are lynched and mobbed by self-proclaimed "troll spotters" who have nothing else to do but mock the achievements of others.
To be fair, it does set of the troll radar. You posted asking if your rise was unprecedented. When someone gave an example of how it wasn't unprecedented you took offense because you felt he was bragging in your thread. You stated that beginner improvement was harder than GM improvement. This isn't true in anything I can think of ... math, science, games, sports, music ... it rings of trolling. You anticipated being a master in a very short time. You've been here a year now so maybe you can help with other newbies who post similarly and try and educate them without sounding condescending or mean.
