Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer speed read and dip highly info-packed books

Hi,

speed reading and dipping really makes sense. I'm sure it works great for most of the books.

but how do you go about with a book that is really fully packed with information?

For example, I pr'd my chemistry book. in this book, pretty much every sentence contains important facts. or another example where it is even more crucial; my german grammar book. this booklet is full with tables etc and every sentence is in a way structured that it can deliver all information very shortly but very clearly. so just the most necessary is stated but in a way that all the information counts.

so what do you best do with these fact-loaded books?

thanks

Lolu,

When you're talking about something like textbooks, which I imagine is what you're looking at when referring to chemistry and German, the best way to go through each of those is to treat each chapter as an entirely separate book within itself during the activation process. This means spending as much time on a single chapter as you might an entire book elsewhere. Because often times in a school textbook, each chapter presents you with an equivalent amount of information that you'll find elsewhere in entire books - spend half hour activation passes until the entire mass of concepts 'gel.'

Go through each and individual chapter with multiple passes. For really complex, structured information that is very fact driven and in a dense text with concentrated information - mind mapping everything out usually helps, or at least writing down the separate concepts and how they all inner relate to each other.

Use Skittering. Textbooks take 25 to 75 hours of reading using the traditional method 1/3rd the time is 8 to 25 hours. Remember also get it faster in multiple passes, Hold the purpose and question in your mind while skittering or Superread And Dipping. It means you might go over the same page 3 or 4 times but it's still faster than traditional reading because you know what you want to know and can look over it faster.
