That's what you spend the weekend learning. Not only the what to do and how to do it. You actually have to do it during the class.

I’m skeptical that one can essentially flip through a book as fast as one can smoothly turn a page and assimilate and recall enough information to make this process worthwhile.
You will be taught how to flip the pages, how to look at the book as you flip the pages to allow you mind to do what it can do naturally. Yuo'll be taught how to bring the information to conscious awareness and method that will allow you to have better recall of the information you've made conscious than you get with tradtional reading. Can one do it? Yes. What's more many have done it.

And I'm skeptical that I will have learned these skills and have them in place by the end of the 3 day seminar.
That's why the seminar is 2.5 days not just one. we have to show you it can be done and slowly get you to let go of your security blanket of scepticism.

I talked with one of the coaches for Photoreading. He said my expectation should be that at the LEAST I would reduce the time it takes me to assimilate and understand written material by two thirds, probably more. Does the prospect excite and interest me? Yes. Am I skeptical this can be done? Yes. Do I think the brain is possible of such a thing? Yes. All of the above.
I've had people's jaws dropping when they realised how much information they obtained from a book in as little as 10 minutes. Or the amount of information they got from a 2 page A4 article in 2 minutes which they mind mapped. They mind mapped and talked about it afterwards. In one of my one-on-one classes I invited my student to glance at the article to pull out more informtion as she was talking. She spoke continuously for 3-minutes and could have kept going. I said do you realise you were activating while you were talking? You had to superread and dip to get information while still talking. You knew where to look. For her that was an insight.
She had the home study course and did it from beginning to end. Was more successful with the Seminar. I think she would have got it with another go or two with the home study course. It's just plain easier when you get to watch someone show you how to flip the pages. Have someone play with you at finding the blip page. Work with others while you play at activation and form mind probing questions.
Come Monday you know how to PhotoRead. How to apply it. And have the skills to get your reading done in 1/3rd the time and better. We cannot force you to do it. Any more than paying for a gym membership will guarantee you'll use it.
