Before going to speed reading soft-wares, what if I tell you something that really works?
You know to learn quickly and to learn well, to prepare faster than anyone else and to sleep calmly at the last day of the exam it is very important that you increase your reading speed right now. Not only reading speed but with increase in it you increase your comprehension levels too.
Reading speed can only increase if instead of Sub-vocalization (hearing the text inside your head that you are seeing) , you go for making visual images of the text you are reading.Perhaps your habit is to listen the words that you are clearly seeing right from the childhood. It is important that you get rid of this habit as soon as possible but who has got that much time when there are only two or three days remaining for exams. No one. Right?
first, Read groups of words together. Give a pause of less than a second after every 3-5 words, so that the meaning goes inside your head and you can get time to visualize the meaning of the words.
Second, Instead of moving your eyes from word to word, Fly through the words, reading only the top of the words, it is not like seeing that space between lines but it is to see words with your peripheral vision. This way your eyes can move faster. Way faster than before.
Third, is to look at your physical posture- are you sitting on a chair? Is your head straight looking into the book directly? Are you breathing properly?. Any no to above questions is really stopping you to read faster and better.
Fourth, instead of reading continuously for 3 hours and not reaching anywhere but developing that fear of the infinite information, it is advisable that you read for 30 minutes, make notes of what you read in 5 next minutes (only keywords), revise those keywords in 5 more minutes and then give yourself a break of 10 minutes. Repeat this way and you can continue for 6 hours, covering like 3 topics in 30 minutes. Summing up, it would be more than 20 topics properly read, revised and memorized. What else you need?
Fifth step is to re-read above four steps if something seems still unclear.
