With consistent practice, you can become proficient at solving a Rubik's cube in about 1-3 months.

Estimated Duration: 90 days

To become good at solving Rubik's cubes, start by learning the beginner's method, which involves memorizing a few algorithms for each step (cross, first two layers, orientation, and permutation). Practice daily for at least 30 minutes to an hour, gradually improving your speed and efficiency. Advanced solvers use the CFOP (Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL) method, which requires more memorization but significantly reduces solve times. Joining online communities, watching tutorials, and timing yourself regularly will help track progress. Most beginners achieve sub-1-minute solves within 1-3 months, while reaching sub-30 seconds may take 6 months to a year.
