For me, it took about 2 weeks to get a good hang of it. Within the first week after taking the seminar in 1992 while I was in college, I noticed my study time was practically cut in half, and the material I was PhotoReading came together so much faster in class that it had all of first semester.
So, I'd give it about a month for it to become second-nature. After you learn how to PhotoRead, the quickest way to see results is to do all five steps on 5-7 books. Manually activate each book until it all "gels" and you have full comprehension, in 1/2 to a 1/10 of the time it would have taken with regular-reading.
If you have any questions, just search the forum, or post them here. Most all of us here know how to make it work!
