i need to get faster

[jeff081692]

Cross=8 sec
Insert edge and corner pairs=20 sec
OLL=6 sec
PLL=9 sec
total=43 sec

These were my times earlier today. I dont know what I should try improving first. I know I need to do cross on bottom and in this solve it was 2 step OLL and 2 step PLL. What do you consider i should do?

Use the search bar.

dare i say it....

practice,

believe me it helps. Do slow un-timed solves to optimize finger tricks and looking ahead.

Try to optimize your cross.

thanks you guys have helped me alot. i thought i would make an update of my times. this solve went really well i knew the OLL and PLL cases.

Cross=3 sec
Insert edge and corner pairs=16 sec
OLL=3 sec
PLL=5 sec
total=27

I know every perm except the N and G perms. I think I need to work on my
F2L some more. Should i learn what i know about F2L from different angles of the cube to minimize rotations or learn how to use empty slots to minimize moves? I will probably get around to both but i want your opinions on which would improve my times more. Thanks in advance.

Whenever I see a F2L case that I didn't know, I would try to find a faster way to solve it...

Also, learn the N and G perms...
