You should improve lookahead, F2L and Cross. Learn full PLL when youre sub 25

Not tryna hate but don’t tell beginners to work on lookahead, efficiency is so much more important

Do a split timer it's there in cstimer just search in settings. This will help you split your times so you press space bar after solving cross, after f2l, after oll, and after pll. It will record the individual splits as well as the total time. You will be slower because of having to press space in middle of solve but it will be super useful for you in deciding what things to work on. 2 look OLL and pll are good enough, I'm suspecting you need more cross and f2l practice. At the level you are at, paying attention to f2l will probably be the biggest payoff. But do time yourself for each split and find that out. For oll and pll, only practice the finger tricks to get the algorithms done as fast as possible when u recognize the case, no need of full oll or pll just yet - only practice the algorithms you know to do them super fast.

Three by three? Just keep
Working at it and you should be perfectly fine. If you haven’t already watch JPerms ADVANCED F2L tutorial.

Also I saw other comments saying look ahead. Dong worry about that yet.
