Yep, it's All you need to do till like sub 15

Well he does want to get sub-10 ...

 

[Rama]

so how do i get good lookahead

I made this video for a friend, hopefully this will help you out.

 

[Hazel]

I know full OLL and PLL, as well as COLL (minus the sune and antisune cases), what other subset(s) would be helpful to learn?

 

[Mastermind2368]

but i dont understand how will i improve lookahead

so how do i get good lookahead

When your making a pair, don't look at the pair your making. Find another pair.

WV, VLS, ELS, CLS, BLE, ELL, ZBLL.

I'm wondering if my LL is ok. It takes me about 6 seconds for it and I know Full OLL and Full PLL.

If it is bad how can I improve?

That's about how fast mine is and I average around 12.7, so for what I assume will be a 19 second average as your AO50 is 18.25, no, your F2L could use some work, if that is the case. A 13 second F2L is not great. Get that down to around 8 seconds and then work on your LL

 

[Gold Cuber]

I reckon learn COLL during 25-15

What are the optimal splits (CFOP) for being sub-14?

 

[TDM]

What are the optimal splits (CFOP) for being sub-14?

I'd say about 8 seconds for F2L, and 5.5ish for LL. Something like 2-6-2.5-3 for each of the four steps?

I've been in sub 20 for a few months now,but then on a whole average,I got less than 17 seconds.Im starting to think about how to become sub 15.What should I do to improve?

Everyone has unique advantages and disadvantages which means there isn't any universal tips, if you don't post splits and/or a video no one will be able to give any good advice.

During slow solving, do I only slow solve cross and f2l but not last layer or just slow solve f2l? Or the whole solve slow?

 

[CrystallineCuber]

I'm looking for a little guidance here. I'm averaging a little under 90, my F2L is intuitive but poor (the avg is with LBL), I know 2-look OLL and PLL. What's the next thing I should work on besides getting a speed cube? My cross isn't amazing but I'm currently failing to get any better.

Why are you slow solving? If it's for better F2L look ahead and transition from cross from F2L there's no reason to do LL. if you however want to work on OLL prediction during LS, get rid of unnecessary regrips and Us during the solve etc doing whole solves is the way to go.

 

[IamSpeedcubing]

I'm a sub 15 cuber that knows pll and most olls, like 6 left, and am aiming to be sub 10 by the end of the year. Sub 20 to sub 15 took me about 2 weeks of slow solves. Is my goal achievable? What should I do to achieve it?

 

[AMCuber]

Hello. I am new to this, and I just started cubing last March. I need some help on 3x3. I know full pll and 2 look oll, and my average is like 32, which I think isn't that good. I think I started CFOP too early. What can I do to change this?

 

[Mastermind2368]

Do slow solves and trace F2L pairs. Learn the easy OLL algs from here, they are a little out of date, but the order he has them in is good, http://www.badmephisto.com/ollpage_print.php

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

if you learned a method "too early", that just means you have the knowledge with less skill/practice, so I'd recommend practicing

 

[AMCuber]

Practicing the LBL method, or CFOP? I worked on LBL for something like 2 months befroe I started CFOP.
