-How do you expect to increase your speed if you won't take time to slow down and improve how you are doing the basic steps?-

I did in college, slow down and learn the steps and Maps are fine for memorizing things but if speed and knowing what you read is what you want, MM's destroy the speed. The stopwatch doesn't lie.

-Did you include the outcome you want to have by acquiring the knowledge in those books?-

I think you have to. Ultimate goal, what is my reason for even reading this? What am I going to do with this? Different wording for the same think I think.

-Consider how real learning is not based upon a words-per-minute requirement.-

Is it also not based on test scores?

Am I the biggest pain in the *** you've ever had here?
