How long did you take to get to sub-15 since the time you cracked sub-20?

[nightpegasus738]

I just want to know how much work I MIGHT need to put in to reach sub-15, I am currently at 17-18 second averages.

i think around 2 months for me, but i have stupid progression

 

[yoshinator]

It took me like two months, but that's just because for ~6 weeks I only practiced 4x4. I went from 17 to 14 without touching a 3x3 =D

 

[IMSLOW1097]

for me, it actually took about 10 months....august 2011 to june 2012

About a year from consistent sub-20 to consistent sub-15 (only hit sub-15 this month). Was stuck at 17 for too long...

Looks like I'm going to face the same fate (the stuck at 17 part).

3 months

6 months because I completely stopped practicing 3x3 for quite awhile in favor of 4x4 and 5x5.

From 20 to 15 was like 2 months but from 15 to 13 was a year so I wasn't actually sub 15 yet, but I wasn't practicing much either

I looked at my WCA page and I had my first sub-20 average in Winter 09 and my first sub-15 in Fall 09.

It took me 10 months for getting a sub20 Average of 50. And another 7months to archieve a sub15 average of 50.
I think it is imortant to say how long it took you to get to sub20. OP can estimate his progression better in that case.

btw it took me another 7 months to get to sub14 average of 50
Now I am in the 13s for about 4 months.

 

[choza244]

1 year since I became sub 20 and still not sub 15

 

[~Adam~]

Over 2 years and counting.

edit - roughly a year from beginning to learn F2L till sub-20.
Have had sub 15 avg of 12 but that really doesn't count as being sub 15.

 

[Ninja Storm]

It took me about two months, but, as Kevin said, I have stupid progression as well

 

[Renslay]

Avg12? About 4-5 years, still counting. UWR?

 

[FinnGamer]

I'm 90% There and it has taken me 1 1/2 month. I'm guessing I'll be sub 15 in september

 

[sneaklyfox]

Wouldn't it also depend on how many hours one practices each day? 2 months @ 5 hours a day or 10 months @ 1 hour a day?

 

[Petro Leum]

yeah its the total time yo uspend cubing. i stayed at 18/19 averages for a lognt time since i didnt practice at all. then after one month with much practice, i am now nearly sub15.

 

[IamWEB]

It took me about 6-7 months, with some fast improvement in the 17->15 area.
After sub-20, how you practice becomes a much bigger factor in improving than it needed to be before. Practice alone is still obviously helpful, but that alone might not get you to sub-15.

 

[cuberkid10]

It took me almost a year, because I'm lazy and slow at learning algs.
