although i havent replied, I'm very much reading all the posts here on a daily basis. And I really appreciate the responses (although I hope you understand I am not trying to cause any arguments, but merely a friendly debate)
on a side note, let me explain where I'm coming from. I used to get really good grades in high school (but only if i worked super-duper hard), I used to go 3 nights without sleeping sometimes because my aim was to get into the best business school in the country (which I did). So I'm here in the best business school, but the problem is the people here are brilliant. They dont need to pull three all-nighters to get the grades they get. Also, I'm on average 10% below class average in terms of my grades.
Now, I think the fundamental problem is not how fast I read, its how my brain is wired - it takes me a while to comphrehend and grasp information (nope, i am not retarded!)... i'm slower in grasping information... (than the people here at this school - generally i consider myself reasonably intelligent)
what programs should I try out? and can they fundamentally change the way I learn and handle information? Can I increase the rate of my comphrension whilst simulataneously increasing my speed?
although I am willing to try out products from learnings strategies, please also recommend some other tapes or books I can read that can fundamentally change the way i grasp information.
