Answer 2

I would try books on tape, it requires no reading at all. And also try dropping some classes, you may be taking so many subjects that you work is suffering because of it. My girlfriend has an R.N degree and a degree in nutrition and she said that she only does a little bit at a time, she never put more on her plate then she could handle. Also make study notes, get note cards and write down the important facts of what you are Reading, it might help.

As with everything else in life; we can't do it alone. Humans are half animal (lower self) and half spiritual (upper self). The lower self can study, study, study, and it's only using half it's potential. If/when we pray before we begin to study, we tap into the power that is accessible to our upper selves--that unlimited power, that works miracles.

Try it, you'll like it. Makes everything so easy. It's a partnership. If we just sit around praying that God'll do our homework--doesn't work that way. But, if we pray first, then do our part, He'll take us the rest of the way. He's somethin' else!

Everyone tries to live this life alone. It's their egos (translates to the Christian "devil").

Just try praying, urgently--sincerely, before you begin; and, see what happens. You have nothing to lose--doesn't cost a thing.

Pray like this:

1. State your desire.
2. Pray for it.
3. Experience the joy of having already received it.
4. Take the action (do your homework).
5. Thank God AS IF you've already aced that grade. (This is the most important step.

Be sure to notify me of your success. I'll be waiting to hear about it (and also adding my prayers to yours.)

Try an introduction to speed-reading. Also to constructing skeletons of articles and various techniques for memorizing - find the one that works for you (lists, diagrams, acronyms, mental pictures, poems, association...).

The trick in speed-reading is that you can extract most of the author's message from looking at key points in the text (contents, index, introduction, summary, key paragraphs). Once you know what they are saying, you can skim the body of the article, slowing down only for parts that seem to be saying something additional. Avoids filler and repetition.

i took evelyn woods speed reading

a way to faster read is to teach yourself-take a blank piece of paper and run it down the page forcing yourself to keep up with the paper as you go--take notes when u get a key or highlight-

it doesnt work if its very detailed material-

by doing this it will get you to read faster like typing the more u do it the faster u will type -with accuracy

if you say you cant -im very slow -you prophecy your failure-u can do it-make sure you seeing is good-u may need special reading glasses-either way forcing yoursel like in excercise will build u to do better--just see it your good reader ok-david and come to our 360 on creativity-it will help too -be the princess we dream of from childhood -or a prince-david thanks-in Jesus amazing grace
