It’s just how you feel really. Imo ao100s aren’t enough, but they’re a sure sign that you’re improving. Ao500 is good enough I think.
Maybe do 2 ao100s with a day’s break in between to see the consistency?
true, I do ao100s but I don't think it's enough.

Maybe do 2 ao100s with a day’s break in between to see the consistency?
I never thought of that actually, I tend to do ao100s in one sitting and idk why lol. But ty for the suggestion I'll definitely try that.

My solves are getting consistent under 20 seconds. (I messed up cross on the 4th solve ugh)

GUYS I GOT IT! :D I got my first ao12 with (almost) sub 20 solves. I'm really happy about this! I think in a couple of days I can break this barrier

Congrats! Just so you know, that’s commonly called a pure sub-X average. So, without that 22, you would have had a pure sub-20 average of 12.

Not bad, I think I'm slowly improving the efficiency and lookahead in f2l

Was rushing at the fourth and fifth solve cus of online classes lol
 
Hey guys! For the next 5-7 days, I'll be timing ao500. I said at the end of the month I'll do an ao100. I decided to do it today because yk I'll be busy timing an ao500. And I must say, I got an ao100 of 18.31!! My best single in this session is 12.32 and my worst was 23.37 which is pretty ok for me. 17% of my solves were above 20, which is almost half of what I got last month (33% of my solves were above 20). Hopefully, by next month, my ao100 shaves off one second. And maybe I can get 10-12% of my solve over 20 secs.
 
I think you should continue and maybe try for sub 15! although i could see if you were burnt out from doing so much 3x3 already!
I think I can get sub 15 by learning full oll and some other techniques. lol, I really burnt out by 3x3, but I might do 4x4 and learning oll together so I can have a break from each cube once in a while :D
 
So guys, as you can see in the newly edited thread title, I think I already reached my goal. I'm still going to be doing an ao500 to see how accurate my avg is on 3x3. But, first off I wanna say thanks to everyone for helping me out in this journey. I never thought I'll get this goal in less than 2 months, to be frank. I woke today and got a 16.37. I'm consistently getting most of my solves under 20 seconds. Last month my worst time in a session was about 25-27 seconds. After a month, it is now 23 seconds. Many of you said that I already reach this goal and that I'm fully sub 20. And yes, I might continue this thread. Not only for 3x3, but also for other events. My new main goal is now to learn yau on 4x4. After I do an ao500, I'll talk more about this goal. And yes, I'm might try to go for sub 15 on 3x3 (thanks to @scrubizilla for the idea). I'll go more in-depth on my newer goals later, but for now, thank you to everyone who supported me with some very nice words :)
