I'd say mid 12's. I don't do many big sessions, but most of my averages are probably around there. I definitely can see myself improving, although the rate of improvement has slowed down a bit since I started getting sub-13. Haven't been stuck at any big barriers (yet), which is encouraging.
 
I like roux. After the begginners method, i was averaging about a minute and a half, and i wanted to learm CFOP because all the fastest people used it. Then, i saw that number: 70+ algs... Then i discovered the next three big methods: roux, zz, and petrus. I immediately gave up zz (eo and too many algs), and then i tried petrus. I just couldnt figure out how to make a 2x2 block. Then, after seeing that 2 look cmll was only 9 algs, i was dedicated to roux. In a week, i cut my average from 1:30 to about 45 seconds. Then i got my aolong, and dropped 15 seconds by picking it up. At 30 seconds, i was stuck. I stayed around 25-30 for a month, and finally got around 23. A week later, i was at 20. Here i stayed for another month. I finally broke sub 20, and hit my next hard barrier, 17 seconds. Literally, average of hundreds would be 17,17,17,18,17,71,16,18,17,17,17. I tightened my cube to the maximum, and i had to turn at 2-4 tps max. I became y neutral in a week or so, and this improved my times to 15-16 seconds, which i was stuck at for 1-2 weeks. Finally, yesterday i got a sub 15 ao 100!

How long have you known the beginner method? Seems pretty unusual to switch right after learning it. And how many solves do you do a day?
 
I only did beginners method for a week. Then in another week, I decided to use roux. Yesterday I did 5 solves. The day before I did 100+. Most of my improvement was over the summer when I had a lot of free time. I used to do 500-1000 solves a day, but now with school, i'd be lucky to get in 100.
