This chapter has several important ideas(especially important for the exam), I want to read it so that I could pass the exam.
Your purpose is poor. You're not identifying what you need to know to pass the exam and why it's important to you to pass the exam.
I've spoken with and coached many students and I've discovered that when they are vague on purpose they often have no real interest in the subject they just want to pass to please their parents. Have left it to the last minute to read everything and now hoping for a miracle.
If you want to succeed you need to determine what's in it for you. Why are you studying? Where do you plan to go with that in the future? What is needed for you to take the next step.
Step one Prepare is the most important part of reading. I suggest you re-read the PhotoReading book page 24-25 4th edition and read it often.
Working at activating 100 pages in 30 minutes is a great idea. However I would focus on individual chapters. Working one chapter until I understand it and have mind mapped it and am satisfied that the mine map records the information from the chapter in such a fashion that I only need to remember the mind map to be able to recall the information needed for the exam.
Mind map. If you're only trying to read and not summarise at the end of your study session what you learned you are not really studying to learn. You just hoping something of what the author said sticks.
