Steve44:
I almost meet your needs. I actually own the home study course. I bought it a few years ago but never committed myself to it. Recently I have returned to the idea, but find myself without a cassette player (and the unwillingness to purchase one for the sake of this course). Anyway, i am re-learning from the book.
I would say i have had some marginal success. Some recent fiction i have read, I have been able to read ***TO MY SATISFACTION*** in about 1.5 hours. Note that is usually comprised of 3 to 4, 20-30 minute sittings over a couple of days. This is lightning fast for me.
The non-fiction I am attempting is in relation to a test i am taking at the end of June. I will photo-read, rapid-read and super-read right up to the test....so i don't have any measuring units for you, but internally I feel very confident.
Steve44, while i believe in the system, i must admit to date that I can not single out a conscious benefit from the actual PR step. Much of what I have achieved to date, I feel is predominately from reading with a purpose and "layering" the information with multiple passes through the material.
I hope you find some benefit from the above.
Cheers!
