I am not too bright, I have to read the work over and over again befare I understand anything. I have to write down key words and make summaries and keep on learning before I can go and write. I cannot read the work once and then remember what is going on. How many can you do?

What I can do is terrible.I think it is just because I can't concentrate.That is the problem.I just sat there,staring at my book and thinking other things.This state is horrible.Often I can only read TWO in one hour.

Not that much. I need to really concentrate to understand a topic or a subject. In ONE hour i might understand a little only. Good luck for you final exam. Take care.

Hi, empressM. First of all, i wish you doing good in your coming exams. All the best for you and good luck! Frankly speaking, i could not be that fast if i have never prepare or revise the subject, for the first time preparation, i need more time to understand the content. I am a slow reader, so i always have to spend much time on reading and understanding for the first time, then i will pick up the main points and jot it down or highlight them, so that i can remember the important points when i make the revisions. If i have done the revisions, then i can make it very fast for the final revisions before my exams. As i do not need to read the whole content and waste my time on long-winded paragraphs. Happy mylotting and have a nice day!

Hello EmpressM!!! Well it really depends. It depends on the chapter I am reading, whether I have understood it previously or not. If I have understood it previously then I can study it fast. If that is the first time I am reading then it is really difficult to go forward...If I am going to read a new thing, then it certainly takes time. Sometimes, I get very much difficult to understand and can't even memorize it even in an hour and I get angry of it hehe. And sometimes, such difficult topics seems to be the important question and I may regret for not understanding it previously... But if I have already understood the topic before then it doesn't really take time. I can go faster... So about the number of pages I can read doesn't seem to be the answerable question. Sometimes, I may finish more than 20 pages and sometimes less that one pages that depends on concentration and the previous understanding... But I have a general trend that when I have lot of time, my concentration is low and I can't read more number of pages. But if the exam is very near or the next day, then my speed increases very much, and read more number of pages in an hour... Anyway, BEST OF LUCK FOR YOUR EXAMS...Happy EGG JAM... hehe...
