I think you have a good question. I found that some textbooks have questions and quizzes (meant for formal schooling) which can be helpful, and others might have questions or bullet point summaries at the end of chapters. Otherwise, it seems that some books could be better written with photoreading in mind. B-)

If you don't have someone to quiz you, I think you either have to continue activating and rapid reading until you can convince yourself that you got everything you need/want, or you just have to trust that you did. I believe somewhere I read the suggestion to rapid read your first books just to convince yourself.
