1 Determinite the goal of your reading 2 Change your speed moment constantly Focus on the first and last senteces of paragraph (psedue skimming) 3 move your finger to push you out of your comfort zone
It is easier and faster to read technical works like research articles and medical textbooks if you have created a large knowledge tree or Schema of the subject in your mind. This means you have experience or already an extensive understanding of the material. If you are a newbie, then it is tough sledding since you don’t have a Schema yet. This is why attending physicians can read articles far faster than med students. I usually go through hundreds of articles at a sitting. With an extensive Schema, you just need to focus on what is important for you in the article. For example, on the use of Ketamine for depression, I focus on the outcome of studies, the mechanisms of action, the route and dose, the adverse effects, the pharmacology, etc. because I am interested in clinically applying it for certain patients. As another example, with experience an internist friend only needs to pay attention to 3 symptoms to tell if a person is having a heart attack. He doesn’t need to do a whole physical exam. The quality of the Schema one builds will determine the quality of physician.
Actually if you read 2 books a week, and you read for 18 month, that mean 77 weeks that means that you've read 154 books, so you are lying and you're not reading that much or you are just reading books of 50 to 150 pages, that's pathetic 😂
@@mindvalley5092 lmao maybe not specifically 2 books a week he means, maybe every 9 days or sometimes less sometimes more, but on average he reads that amount, fucking hell dont take everything so literarally
One factor that I’ve personally found vitally important for reading comprehension is focused attention. I can read at 200 wpm, but if I’m distracted my comprehension and recall will be nil-whereas, when I’m focused I can up that to 400-500 wpm and have excellent recall/comprehension. Note: focused attention is mentally taxing, so taking breaks (pomodero technique) is also important!
Jon Wood sir i am a kind of a perfectionism seeker.... You see after 1 hour of faster than a ferrari reading speed with absolute and yes absolute understanding of the principles, its very mentally draining. Can you suggest how to increase this mental power reserve (the attentiveness and awareness and the FLOW STATE(if you understand what i'm saying)) I need to study long hours coz of the material - i get mentally tired after digesting a particular amount of information.... This is the challenging part.... How can i increase more information digestion.
@@TraderBen I can read at 2000 WPM 🤔 maybe there is something wrong with me cuz I am only 12 LOL and when I was doing the 1500 wpm I was reading it outloud 😶 If I can ask, how old are you? just wanna make sure this is average for my age
Brilliant video! I tried speed reading before, but I've found that making the time for reading is superior to trying to squeeze in 10 minutes of "speed reading".
This was really helpful. We're reading and critiquing a lot of research papers in my genetics class right now, so I'll definitely try to incorporate some of these tips. Thanks Dr. Jubbal!
Your videos are well structured, to the point, informative and entertaining. It is refreshing to see wholesome content on youtube. I'm a college student (not in the medical field) and your videos have been helpful. The most important habit I've learned from your videos is how to maximize the use of my time. Keep it up👍
Solid video Dr. Jubbal. Some of these techniques were explained in the amazing book, "the four hour workweek", but you did a much better job at explaining the concepts and how to apply them to different situations. THANKS!
My background is finance and business, but since last 3 years, i have developed the interest into area of biology, nutrition science, health, how our body works, just come through this channel, and I really love your content , the best part of it is that backed by solid research.
For those of you looking for the quick rundown. If you want to read a college textbook faster than you already are (if you're reading it slow) the relationship between comprehension and speed is inversely related. So if you read faster, you understand less. If you read slower you understand more. Just balance it out between the two based on what you are reading and plan accordingly. Textbooks take time to digest. Reading for fun can usually go by pretty quickly. Facts and figures that have to be observed take in more time vs just reading a fantasy novel.
Fantastic, I recently took a speed reading course but struggled maintaining comprehension for complex text. Thinking something was wrong with me, I went back to my original process of focussing on key words, line summaries and allowing regressions. There is so much great advice here - particularly balancing fundamental trade off between 'speed and comprehension', I've learnt the hard way this is true. Well narrated and thank you.
This is useful when I buy a book and a few chapters in I decide its not that great, then speed read the rest with just enough compensation to understand what’s happening. Thanks for the tips 🤗
When you started drawing the snow flakes, I suddenly fixated on that and immediately phased out everything you said after. 😂 I had to rewind back to the point when you first started drawing the snowflake and refocus on your words. 😂
Best summary of the current research that I've seen on UA-cam. If you're confused by the competing claims on speed reading, you can trust this guy. Great work!
When Speed increases , comprehension decreases. 1 ) determine goal ( novel , fiction or reading for exam ). 2 ) Flexible with speed ( Some text is easy , come concept are tough and u need to slow down ) 3 ) Read ist and last like of para to know importance of paragraph 4 ) use a pacer to guide ur eyes
I never thought about this before but I always use my finger when reading physical books. I think it is a habit I picked up when I was a kid, but I read large texts online all the time without a pacer with no issues. I think it probably really does help when you are young or if you are a poor reader but with more experience it doesn't really matter that much.
@@Lilitha11 One thing I do that helps a bit is to use a straight edge like a ruler or a book marker to "push down" my reading. But my best method is really just *wanting* to find out what happens next.
I have a MacBook and for those who do I use the voice over to read my online nursing books. Then while reading at whatever speed you’re comfortable with I highlight the important sections of the paragraph.
One good thing that can increase your speed is the way text is written. In our law class, we were leaned to write effectively. The book is Synthesis: Legal Reading, Reasoning and Writing. If you follow the rules, you can write text that can be read very fast and speed reading somewhat help. I wouldn't try speed reading or photoreading on my machine learning texts. Photoreading may help in some easy texts like business books. Good advantage of Photoreading is that it establish a good way of communication between you, your innerface conscious and your subconscious mind.
Tbh, i comprehend better if someone speaks faster ( like your video at 2x or 1.5x speed) or i read faster by vocally reading the words faster. Otherwise i lose attention. But i lose mental energy faster this way..... This video at 2x is just a little mentally draining and 1.5x is the sweet spot.
@@brendonlim6198... Maybe... But if that's normal for you... Great... The feeling of being able to speak and comprehending at speeds like ben shapiro is in itself.... Grand
2:27 It is not impossible to smothly go from one end of the other end. Just cross your eyes slightly and move your head. With some practice anyone can do it.
I listen to everything at 2x speed, but, while reading, I find I have a hard time subvocalizing at that speed. I find it odd, because it's not as though my mouth structures need time to move into place to sound the phonemes. My current approach to increasing my reading speed is to read aloud as fast as I can. I hope it works!
Our brain can sometimes manifest and predict the incoming words so in that way you understand the cotext better. As a bookworm, I usually just scheme the whole page because I can sometimes predict the following words after another. Though that works best when reading with only your eyes and not really recommending when reading aloud, you might mess up or stutter words. So it's better to understand the thought of the text you're reading aloud so that way you can follow the flow of words in each sentence.
I used to read myself when I was 9 years old after my unknown illness I had when I was e and a half, my mum said I was s nightmare to get to read at night sure practically read every kids book on the market and eventually she had to give up and just let me cry and then I read on my own, then during school iv been reading on and off but the longest reading slump was a long time ago, I finally got out of it and started reading more maturely in 2020 thanks to the pandemic lockdown, I have a slight learning disability and partially sighted I can now read 20 pages a hr, that’s 48 books a year, 300-800 page book I can read 10 chapters every 7 hours and the now I’m reading Malazan book of the falling I’m like 2-3 chapters a day if unlucky I’m a chapter a day because they have many pages and long chapters, now I can read or listen to an audiobook at 2x max on UA-cam so why can’t I speed read? I throught because it could be because I am partially sighted and good hearing, I can as to say I have eyes on the back of my head not really I wish lol, what I mean if someone is sneezing up behind me or taping my left shoulder and standing the opposite I can allways tell it’s like I do have eyes on the back of my head lol, I mean I have tunnel vision and I can type fast which I never was in hightschool but then after being used to it finally came to me, but when comes to reading I was thought to digest the words comprehend it take my time, I talk fast, so I just don’t understand why I can’t speed read, maybe with my poor attention span, I mean why I want to be a speed reader is because I’m buying books faster than I can read them like noe I have 293 and i buy more books like 1-5 books a week and I can’t go past a book place withought buying books, I just love reading it makes me feel happy.
Speaking of subvocalization, if you mouth the words that is really slow. There is actually two things going here, when people silently say the words to themselves but their mouth is still moving, and then just thinking the words. I don't really suggest to get rid of thinking the words in your mind because your comprehension can all but disappear in that case. But eliminating actual mouth movements and stuff will greatly improve your speed, if you do those things.
I helped out fellow students when it came to difficult academic text. I achieved great results in reading slowly and by using color pencils, noticing key words and underlining at most three important words or lines per page. On the other hand I read two volumes of „Fire and Ice” in an afternoon by just reading important verbs, nouns and names, leaving out most descriptions. As a former student of literature it was easy to fill out any gaps. It’s important to have expectations beforehand, as reading the actual text or study is directly filling into a web of knowledge you already have.
If you’re going to read faster, you want to be alert to comprehend what you’re reading, diet is important, for example if you eat turkey or cherries you will tend to be sleepy, if you eat too much you may fall asleep, experiment with your sweet spot!
Listen to this on 2.0 speed same info in half the time! Slowly build up from 1.25 up I find normal speed feels slow which is quite tangible even whilst gorging on YT videos. This has a knock on effect on my reading, I have an issue where I still narrate whilst reading to myself as I listen to YT at 2.0 my internal narration has gone to 2.0 too.
I'm reading for pleasure, yeah, but I also want to minimize the time I'm spending on it. I don't know how to do that! Your video was great, but it couldn't help me. My speed is like reading 26 pages in 50 minutes. It doesn't fit in my everyday schedule :))
Hey med insiders I would wish you make a video showing how one can be a great student outside of class...and what one can do related to medicine but not necessarily in classroom set up .thank you
For me I cant use audible for learning purposes I just passively listen but dont really understand much what is being taught. But for reading for pleasure then audible Is amazing can do other stuff while listening. While for learning video and/or e/books work best for me since I can just skip through them skin through them see examples texts boded words skip through pages to see what the main ideas are and so on while taking notes on my ipad.
You can skim read or scan read. Skim is looking for main points you know about, scan is looking for main points you don't know about. It's a skill, mostly developed by managers, who need to know what's going on. Lawyers also use it. Reading a lot helps. No way you're gonna get any lasting benefit from a book you read this way, it's a purely informational thing.
thanks for clarifying i have been trying peripheral reading which I found impossible. another other technique would reduce my comprehension. so i can go from 400-1000 so i agree its the purpose that matter.
Audible books and or tts are great, but the problem you run into is taking notes and studying the material. I'm teaching 5 history classes and I've completed all of the books but I can't recall all of the small details without notes which means back to sitting down and reading the book slowly. You can read the book, but a dense book like Howard Zinn's A people's history of the United states or Francis Fukuyama's Political order, political decay just isn't going to sit in that recall section, but you can remember oh man they did some messed up stuff.
"to consume text". so here we are, right at the bottom of the rhetoric of productivity, where you do not read for pleasure (even accademic work, not only novels and fiction) but to accumulate; not for a journey where the process itself is part of the experience, but only to reach the target. Do you think that reading is the act of turning the last page of a book, or do you think that reading is the very process of enjoying a book not as pieces of paper, but as an artifact made by a fellow human that spent his or her time to create it? I don't get this focus on quantity and the idea of a need for "accumulation" of knowledge. Enjoy your books, take your time and if by the end of your life you will have truly enjoyed what you read, it will be okay even if it's about "a few" books. If you don't enjoy reading, don't force yourself with techniques, just find another way to enjoy yourself!
It concerns me that people are not learning accurately what the authors are writing, they may think they have read the book and misunderstood details. The goal of reading is to understand what you are reading.
Many speed reading coaches claim it by giving the example of F1 racing that if you read faster your comprehension increases. What's your view on that? I personally don't believe that I can understand some textbook with that speed. And Jim Kwik saying that he can read a book in 2hrs and then give lecture on it seems tad as well. I think it has to something with memory optimization techniques. Please give your opinion.
Thank you very much for the subvocalisation bit. Every time I removed subvocalisation my speed was pretty decent, but my comprehension was abysmal. With focused attention and subvocalising at a faster rate than normal (due to the "don't subvocalise" type of people), I can read pretty decently, though, to be honest, still below average (209 wpm for me). I hope that will improve with focused attention, some degree of peripheral vision use, and an increase in subvocalisation speed.
What a surprise: sponsored by audible and the best way to speed reading is to listen to audiobooks 🎉 wow, and so many just don’t get it what you are doing: marketing
Most are aware of it, plus you have the choice to take up audio books or not. At the end of the day if you value knowledge, your life will be better with audio books than without.
Hello doc. How would you increase your speed of reading and comprehension while preparing for CARS ? Is there any techniques or suggestions that you would like to share with me ? I am an average reader and I am kinda slow in reading. Hoping to hear back from you. Take care
My friend thought I am really smart and think faster, but the truth is I'm really fast reader so I can answer the question quickly. If the question is told (like listening test), I'm pretty sure my speed of answer is similar like anyone else.
I just found your channel and I love it! I dont speak English (i live in USA) but Im trying to get into Med School in 2019 and your videos are helping me a lot, I have watched 10 videos or more today. Thank you for explaining everything slowly and step by step
Wow! Thank you for this! Defining a goal for each book is something I have never considered but can see how it would work. I am not a med student but my schooling does require a lot of research paper readings and I appreciate now being able to go through and determine how to evaluate what the goals are and how to adjust my reading approach to match. Thank you once again for this video. -Hanna

It is easier and faster to read technical works like research articles and medical textbooks if you have created a large knowledge tree or Schema of the subject in your mind. This means you have experience or already an extensive understanding of the material. If you are a newbie, then it is tough sledding since you don’t have a Schema yet. This is why attending physicians can read articles far faster than med students. I usually go through hundreds of articles at a sitting. With an extensive Schema, you just need to focus on what is important for you in the article. For example, on the use of Ketamine for depression, I focus on the outcome of studies, the mechanisms of action, the route and dose, the adverse effects, the pharmacology, etc. because I am interested in clinically applying it for certain patients. As another example, with experience an internist friend only needs to pay attention to 3 symptoms to tell if a person is having a heart attack. He doesn’t need to do a whole physical exam. The quality of the Schema one builds will determine the quality of physician.

As a former student of literature it was easy to fill out any gaps. It’s important to have expectations beforehand, as reading the actual text or study is directly filling into a web of knowledge you already have.
I missed your content so much!
Thanks for being back.
Cheers from a med student to a Doctor!
Hi!No need to read fast but to dowdload in brain what you read.I greet You.
Thank you, the whole reading by peripheral vision has always seemed impossible.
If you’re going to read faster, you want to be alert to comprehend what you’re reading, diet is important, for example if you eat turkey or cherries you will tend to be sleepy, if you eat too much you may fall asleep, experiment with your sweet spot!
Listen to this on 2.0 speed same info in half the time! Slowly build up from 1.25 up I find normal speed feels slow which is quite tangible even whilst gorging on YT videos. This has a knock on effect on my reading, I have an issue where I still narrate whilst reading to myself as I listen to YT at 2.0 my internal narration has gone to 2.0 too.
I'm reading for pleasure, yeah, but I also want to minimize the time I'm spending on it. I don't know how to do that! Your video was great, but it couldn't help me. My speed is like reading 26 pages in 50 minutes. It doesn't fit in my everyday schedule :))
Hey med insiders I would wish you make a video showing how one can be a great student outside of class...and what one can do related to medicine but not necessarily in classroom set up .thank you
Video with techniques to read faster starts at 6:25.
For me I cant use audible for learning purposes I just passively listen but dont really understand much what is being taught. But for reading for pleasure then audible Is amazing can do other stuff while listening. While for learning video and/or e/books work best for me since I can just skip through them skin through them see examples texts boded words skip through pages to see what the main ideas are and so on while taking notes on my ipad.
Bout to start CRNA school. You got a new subbie. Thanks for this info!
You can skim read or scan read. Skim is looking for main points you know about, scan is looking for main points you don't know about. It's a skill, mostly developed by managers, who need to know what's going on. Lawyers also use it. Reading a lot helps. No way you're gonna get any lasting benefit from a book you read this way, it's a purely informational thing.
thanks for clarifying
i have been trying peripheral reading which I found impossible. another other technique would reduce my comprehension. so i can go from 400-1000 so i agree its the purpose that matter.
Awesome content as always! Really helpful!
Gr8 Werk. (Great Work). Really Tight Production. Quite a knowledgeable Dude. Thanks for the Post.
10:24 What would be the benefit of listening to a medical book, if any? 🤷🏾♂️
Great video... Reading and learning, comprehension. I'm going to be a male nurse hopefully. Applying to University.
This is a great video. Keep up the good work and thank you
This video is amazing! Thank you so much!
Audible books and or tts are great, but the problem you run into is taking notes and studying the material. I'm teaching 5 history classes and I've completed all of the books but I can't recall all of the small details without notes which means back to sitting down and reading the book slowly. You can read the book, but a dense book like Howard Zinn's A people's history of the United states or Francis Fukuyama's Political order, political decay just isn't going to sit in that recall section, but you can remember oh man they did some messed up stuff.
i can choose, i can read fast but forget fast. or i can read word by word, and remember those for a least through the next day
Why am I here when I am a speed reader already- Well, something new to learn.
Tell me ur tips pls
"to consume text".
so here we are, right at the bottom of the rhetoric of productivity, where you do not read for pleasure (even accademic work, not only novels and fiction) but to accumulate; not for a journey where the process itself is part of the experience, but only to reach the target. Do you think that reading is the act of turning the last page of a book, or do you think that reading is the very process of enjoying a book not as pieces of paper, but as an artifact made by a fellow human that spent his or her time to create it? I don't get this focus on quantity and the idea of a need for "accumulation" of knowledge. Enjoy your books, take your time and if by the end of your life you will have truly enjoyed what you read, it will be okay even if it's about "a few" books. If you don't enjoy reading, don't force yourself with techniques, just find another way to enjoy yourself!
It concerns me that people are not learning accurately what the authors are writing, they may think they have read the book and misunderstood details. The goal of reading is to understand what you are reading.
God damnit why must I like the fine details of science textbooks so much?
I can read so fast that I can read body language.
NICE!!!
Continual Improvement hahaha
Lol
I'm going to use these methods tomorrow night when I read my book
Many speed reading coaches claim it by giving the example of F1 racing that if you read faster your comprehension increases. What's your view on that? I personally don't believe that I can understand some textbook with that speed. And Jim Kwik saying that he can read a book in 2hrs and then give lecture on it seems tad as well. I think it has to something with memory optimization techniques. Please give your opinion.
Great video, i subscribed bro!
Listen on Audible rather than reading. Got it.
8:35 textbooks
Iam very slow
😥
And I work harder to pass
And many times i get good scores
I need a update to my speed
Thank you very much for the subvocalisation bit. Every time I removed subvocalisation my speed was pretty decent, but my comprehension was abysmal. With focused attention and subvocalising at a faster rate than normal (due to the "don't subvocalise" type of people), I can read pretty decently, though, to be honest, still below average (209 wpm for me). I hope that will improve with focused attention, some degree of peripheral vision use, and an increase in subvocalisation speed.
What a surprise: sponsored by audible and the best way to speed reading is to listen to audiobooks 🎉 wow, and so many just don’t get it what you are doing: marketing
Most are aware of it, plus you have the choice to take up audio books or not. At the end of the day if you value knowledge, your life will be better with audio books than without.
audiobooks take more time
Wait... some people can read WITHOUT subvocalization? I can’t even imagine that.
Hello doc. How would you increase your speed of reading and comprehension while preparing for CARS ? Is there any techniques or suggestions that you would like to share with me ? I am an average reader and I am kinda slow in reading. Hoping to hear back from you. Take care
My friend thought I am really smart and think faster, but the truth is I'm really fast reader so I can answer the question quickly. If the question is told (like listening test), I'm pretty sure my speed of answer is similar like anyone else.
the average time to fully understand a chapter well is around 1 hour, but how much time would it take if you apply the tricks on these video.
How can we know if a topic in a chapter is superfluous and not important so that we could confidently skip them according to 7:58? Thanks.
I just found your channel and I love it! I dont speak English (i live in USA) but Im trying to get into Med School in 2019 and your videos are helping me a lot, I have watched 10 videos or more today. Thank you for explaining everything slowly and step by step

>Lives in the USA; English is the native language
>Doesn’t speak English
>Med school this year
>wut?
When I speed read, I process one paragraph at a time. Get the topic sentence then look for support if needed then move on. Rinse and repeat. 😳
Wow. Great ways to get through reading assignments quickly.
Great video!
I was able to read with a photographic memory. I had the memory dots running in front of my eyes as cursors /scanners.
One question: how to read faster and comprehend better a law text? banking, taxation, business regulation or EU Directive?
I need all the tip I can get. My dyslexic brain cells read about 100 words per minute on a good day.
Would you recommend Audible with textbooks?
Can't agree more superb content exactly upto the point.
sir please also make a video for writing fast...
hi what about for comprehension exam like gamsat and mcat
Wow! Thank you for this! Defining a goal for each book is something I have never considered but can see how it would work. I am not a med student but my schooling does require a lot of research paper readings and I appreciate now being able to go through and determine how to evaluate what the goals are and how to adjust my reading approach to match. Thank you once again for this video. -Hanna
By learning the technique introduced, I skipped the audible ad section.
Watch from 5:38
I legit take so long to read a book I like because I reread a sentence like fifteen times cuz it’s funny
