Each side ot the tapes will take you 20 to 45 minutes (do the exercises before going onto the next tape). Once through the course you'll be able to get through your reading material in 1/3 the time it takes you now. You will also have photoread and activated 3 books (thats why it takes approximately 12 hours).
Photoreading isn't about speed reading it is about getting the information you need from a book in the time you have available. Getting to the core of the information that you are seeking.
As you do the course (and do the exercises) you will discover that it also teaches some very useful study skills.
EG. Setting time limits with breaks, mind mapping and layering. These things may not mean much now but once through the course you will see the benefits.
Use the memory supercharger regularly (daily for while learning the system.) It is also a valuable aid to your studies.
If you "don't get it" after doing any of the exercises on the tape. Return to the tape, Paul usually explains what you might just have experienced. Even then if you are not sure, keep going and continue with the next tape. They build the system and you can return to any tape to explore it further when you have finished the initial pass. The concept of layering applies to the course too.
You can get through the tapes in 2 days if you allow yourself a few hours to work on it. Recommended is tapes 1 to 4 one day and 5 to 8 the next. However go easy on yourself. Even at a slower rate you can apply what you learn from the first 4 tapes to your studies immediately and notice the benefits.
Can Photoreading help you get your studying done in less time? Yes
