Hey!
(First Post, W00T!)
I was wondering, Are these good times?
I currently use the Friedrich method, but do not know all the OLLs and PLLs.

Cross: 8 sec.

First Two Layers: 26 sec.

OLL: 7 sec.

PLL: 13 sec.


So, thats just one solve, it might have been unlucky or lucky, so I'll do another one for you :)

Cross: 10 sec.

First Two Layers: 38 sec.

OLL: 10 sec.

PLL: 9 sec.


To sum it up, I know like 4 of the OLLs but I also know frur'u'f'..
I also know 3 PLL's..

Tell me what to do...
 
Mine

Cross: 6.22
F2L: 24.35
OLL: 5.89
PLL: 4.52

How long have you been cubing? I've been for just over a month. You seem to be doing quite well so far, F2L is all intuitive so it's best to practice that alot.

I'd learn all 21 PLLs before youl earn all/most of the OLLs, I knew about 3 or 4 OLLs while I was learning the PLLs so that when I'm solving it's abit faster.

Hm...
well I know the FRUR'U'F' and FURU'R'F'...
so all i really need to know is the Cross OLLs, I want to learn those and the 21 PLLs, Yea, the F2L is my favorite and yet no so favorite part, it takes a lot of time, but it is the only step(other than cross) that is intuitive.

And I have been solving since about mid July, so that would be about 3 months, but, I'm 12 years old and have short stubby fingers >.<

Simple. Practice and improve your method of solving.
 
For me, I just figured it out and my times are about:

Cross - 4 seconds
F2L - 17 seconds
OLL - 2 seconds if I know the algorithm, 6 seconds if I don't
PLL - 6 seconds

You have pretty decent times. In time, I think you can cut all your times in half. I think the easiest thing to improve on would be the cross. Try to get your cross in 8 moves or less. Then you can go on to learning all the OLL and PLL algorithms.
 
they are decent, for starters, just keep on practicing, OLL is pretty good actually.
