I don't want to mislead you as I, too, am really just a beginner, but I'll do my best to give you accurate information.
From what I can gather, I'll say this: sometimes it works for people right away, sometimes it takes longer, and sometimes it takes longer than that. See, a lot of it is *unlearning* your present methods of reading, which, as you can imagine, varies in intensity between individuals. I was an Evelyn Woods Speedreading Course Follower before I was a Photoreader, so Rapid Reading (which is to some extent speedreading without your finger) is kind of difficult for me, especially since you vary your reading speed throughout the text (with speedreading, the speed is constant, so the importance of the text is irrelevant; in this respect rapid reading is much more effective).
I guess the best I can tell you is, you might get it right away, you might not...in either case, 30 days (the money back guarantee limit) should be a decent amount of time to find out, and if not, I believe they will offer an extentsion for you (I think 6 months or something...someone please check me on this) if you want to continue trying the program but aren't having any luck.
In other words, order it. You have so much to gain if it works, and so little to lose if it takes longer or you just get fed up with beforehand. But at least you'll know for sure.
Good luck =)
