Doubling your reading speed is easy.

But how the heck can you triple your comprehension?

Most people read with a comprehension level of around 60% (retention, of course, is something completely different). Tripling your reading speed? 120% comprehension?

That's as absurd as that one outfit that offers a course involving mentally photographing pages, similar, kinda, to PhotoReading. They say, "100% retention for life."

Just thought I'd mention that 3 x 60% = 180%.

Here's the scary part. I knew that three times 60 is 180. But, I took 1/3 of 60, multiplied it by 3, and added it to 60. I think that whole idea of tripling comprehension befuddled my brain. Thankfully, it was temporary. (Hopefully, it was temporary.)
