@ alex
i'm glad you're here to help give us tips. .... cos i need some help!...
i'm studying material on cisco networking - it's highly technical, detailed stuff with concepts and tonnes of specifications. I photoread the book and i am happy to say that my comprehension levels are high - maybe 70%. but how do i raise it to a point where i can give an exam based on it... where i can not only recall 100% but can use the concepts and specs to think through scenario based questions?
Right now, i'm rapid reading and brain mapping till I come up with ideas...

but thank you so much, btw - and to paul scheele too

@steve
I've actually had really good results with photoreading in the last 10 days since i've learnt to photoread. The best part was when by chance I came across a bookstore in a mall - suddenly it took on a whole new purpose to wander in - i wasn't browsing, i was devouring those books one by one
but then i felt guilty about not having finished my study material at home. So I started focussing on that, and material that i would normally take a week or two to understand took 3 hours! but then I came across the problem I've mentioned to Alex and hope I've get past it soon.
