speed reading in a science level usually entails faster reading of something, but actually requires you to read it twice or thrice for complete comprehension.
so in the same amount of time you read a 50 page chapter in a medical text book you're supposed to have read it twice/thrice over.
my elementary and middle school in rhode island actually had these old school speed reading projector machines that would time each slide and had options to scroll across single lines or show the whole page for increasingly less and less amounts of times afterwards the teacher would test you on what you read.
Most speed reading is hokum. Those that actually are effective do not promote comprehension.
