Well it does help with the speed.. ALOT.. but I also get better comprehension.. well in comparison to the time you spend. I dont know about you ..but with college material I usually end up taking forever to read one page..because I loose concentration. Well it has helped me with comprehension..because I spend the same amount of time studying. but I go over the same material 3 or 4 times.. so I end up understanding it alot more.
