Right now I'm averaging around 20-23 seconds. I've been getting some sub-20 averages, but they're not consistent. My cross is around 4 seconds, the rest of my f2l is 8-10 seconds(f2l total is around 13 seconds), and my LL is around 7-8 seconds. I use full PLL and 2 look OLL. I've been cubing for around 7 or 8 months, and I feel like I'm not improving much... What part should I work on the most right now?
 
You can read this thread for some tips, but this usually happens, once you get to a certain point, you hit a wall that takes a while to break through, but you'll start improving eventually, but the rate will be much slower.
 
The usual stuff:
Slow down and look ahead
CrossBLD
F2L tricks, especially if they cut down on rotations
Learn OLLs (even if it's just the really easy ones it'll help)
Practice algs to get them faster
And of course, PRACTICE :D
 
You have no idea how long it took me to get past the 20-23 area..it was a NIGHTMARE but I eventually got past and haven't plataued since:) once you start to get sub 20 avg of 12 maybe once a day your close... learn the easy oll's or the ones you find annoying for you feel set yourself up into a bad 2 look OLL... I know you've heard this a hundred thousand bajillion times but seriously slow down and look ahead I'll admit it's boring at first but stick with it and it'll work

Good luck:)
