How Long Did It Take You To Average Sub 20?

................You gotta be kidding me.

Apparently I'm not. Looking back now I actually reckon it took my a little over 2 months. I got sub-20 with CFOP then switched then joined the forums you see...

From first solving the cube till first sub-20 avg12: 2 years and 4 months

Hm, I kinda did the same . Probably took me 3 for Roux.

I've been cubing for a year.
At 3 months, I've been probably had my barrier at 20 seconds.
Three weeks ago, I get a brain pop, and I avg 18 seconds now

 

[AndreiNistal]

I think it took 2 months for me(I was sub 25 that time) to be sub 20.. Just practice 100 solves a day. You'll probably gonna do it

How long does it take to get sub 20?

I've been cubing for about 5 months and i cant get sub 20 averages. I'm at around 22-24 seconds, is this a good time to be at in 5 months? but i really want to get sub 20. hints, tips, or just how long it takes would be good.

 

[asiancuber11]

My PB is 15.66 if that helps

Let me just tell you this: i wasn't sub-20 average for over 3 years of cubing. I started in may 2008, and didn't become sub-20 until june of 2011. So, you're quite ahead of the game from my standpoint.

I went from 21ish to 15ish in about 4 months

I've been cubing for about 4 1/2 months, and I am about where you are, maybe a little bit faster. but I'd say where you are is perfectly fine. Just practice being more efficient, and work on algs, and I am sure you will get sub-20 within a couple of months (considering your pace thus far)

 

[mangogi98]

Look ahead actually got me sub-20. Do a ton of look ahead and slow turning solves. The times will be bad, but if you do it for a while, you will get sub 20 averages. I was around your average about a month ago, and now I'm sub 20. And for 5 months, 22 sec is really good, I've been cubing for almost a year.

 

[cityzach]

Its different for everyone. For me, personally, it took FOREVER to get to sub 20. i was stuck in the 20-24 range for like almost a year. But after i finally started averaging sub 20, i got faster REALLY quickly. I went from 19 avg to 14avg in just a couple months.
So my advice is just to be patient. Good things come to those who wait!

 

[jonlin]

I got to sub 20 by going slow and steady at 21, then changing to go twice as fast. Sub 20 was a breeze then. I might go back to turning slow now... I avg 17.

My PB is 15.66 if that helps

My comp PB is 15.65, plus jrb got a 15.66 comp pb in the same round, so :fp.

Look ahead and practice.
What method do you use?

 

[balloon6610]

It' depending on how much you practice per day. IF you practice a lot you reach sub 20 fast,if not it took forever to reach just be patiece and practice Also some people progress extremely fast like me some people progress slowly but surely but all can reach sub 20 if you practice a LOT. don't give up

 

[Juju]

Do a whole lot of solves where you focus on look ahead rather than fast turning. Do some averages of 100 - Make sure you don't stress out about your times, just try to get more and more fluid with recognition and execution of algorithms in solves. This alone brought my averages from mid-20s to about 16 seconds in the course of a month or so a year ago. I never broke the 15s average barrier, and kind of gave up. I just cube casually now.

exact same as him. it took me a while to get to break 20, but when i did, i flew by it. i average 15 now, and i never stood at the 19 mark.

I'm stuck in 20-25 with intuitive f2l and 4LLL. Hopefully, after I learn full PLL, speed up my OLL and PLL, and work on my lookahead I'll finally be sub 20.

if you learn full PLL, and OLL you will guaranteed be sub 20 with your times now. but naturally there will be a learning curve.

it took 11 mounthes but I think it's couse of the cube because 8-9 monthes I was using chinese cheap cube which was not turning lol
