What to do now?

[Sam Kennedy]

My times now are around 40-50 seconds. My PB is 34.xx.

This is how I solve the cube:
Cross
F2L
Orient Edges
Orient Corners
Permute Corners
Permute Edges

I can get the Cross and F2L done in around 20-25 seconds, my last layer is really bad. What can I do now to get faster? I have tried the metronome thing, and I am pretty bad at that, if I keep practising with the metronome will it help me in an actual solve?

To help your last layer just learn all the PLL and OLL.

Ok.... the post before me was pretty blank, so I hope this can help.
First things first, Your cross and F2L is OK, I get around the same thing as you, I just did a solve for F2L and got 21.25. The best way to do that, is learn a COUPLE of algs to help you, then do the rest intuitive, and sometimes, when it takes you a bit longer, learn another alg.

The OLL, well, IMO: Is the hardest of them all, I do the same thing you do, 3 look LL. So I only know 9 algs for the OLL. the best thing here is practice, then once you feel ready, go for the 57 OLLs, and memorize them all.

PLL, ahh... I reccommend learn these ASAP!
I'm already almost there, I only need 3 more to learn, then I'm done, just learn all these and u'll be good

Hope I helped!

It was just an option since he says his last layer is bad, and minimizing the steps you do would improve your times.

Or just learn to execute that 4-look LL quickly. What you should do depends a lot on what you want to do.

I would say: learn PLL ! You will of course be able to improve F2L but 4LLL is quite bad according to me...

 

[AvGalen]

Are you calling me quite bad

 

[adragast]

lol no but it is not my fault if you have decided to go for a newbie method...
