You can solve the cube: next is getting faster without changing methods right away. To measure your progress, you need a starting point.
Do 12 solves in the timer, at your own pace, without pushing. The app calculates your ao12: the average of the 12 times, without the best or the worst.
Don’t look at your best time: a one-off record is often luck. Your ao12 shows your real level.
Remember: Your starting ao12 is the target to beat. Most beginners go from 2 minutes to under a minute in a few weeks.
Troubleshooting
- A solve went wrong
- Add a DNF or delete the time in the timer. The ao12 already drops the worst time.
