    A few questions:
    How fast can you read? Did you train your speed? If so, how? I just adopted subvocalization, I heard its a ill method. I go to school and I read lots of stuff on a daily basis, but no big improvement. My comprehension towers above average, yet my read rate is quite a bit below it. To me its a compromise between comprehension and speed, but I heard it doesn't have to be.

    This is the test that I took to check my comprehension and readin rate. It said my comprehension was like 30% above average.

    I was watching a guy talking I assume with average speed. It was subtitled and I was reading faster than he talked. So I assume it is faster for me to read a book than to listen to the lecture...

    That's why you guys shouldn't waste your time in classes where "dry" material is taught.. You can just read the books...
