Yes, this is a technique I have used very successfully when studying for exams. It works well for technical information (Accounting and IT in this case). I learnt the basics of both speed reading and Photoreading from Tony Buzan's mindmapping book and found it all quite easy to put into practice - the mindmapping is especially good for capturing connections between different areas of the material that may not be obvious when you are reading through sequentially.
