speed read through review :)
...or at least i hope i can. :) eto kwento nyan...
one of the many things on my plate is working with prosec, a professional skills training center in pasig. recently i finished their basic speed reading course. obviously my primary motivation in taking the course was to get through the mountains of reading materials that we have for the board.
syempre after ko matapos yung course tatamad tamad pa ako, di pa ako nagpa practice ng speed reading applications. in other words di pa ako nagbabasa, hahaha. but the other day i had to do super major cramming for a certification exam for soliciting investments and mutual funds: tama ba naman yun, na cancel yung exam last year around september, tapos bigla na lang silang tumawag last wednesday to tell me the exam was on friday! crazy talaga.
so ayan. first major trial for the speed reading skills i learned.
grabe. sobra akong na impress. :D dami ko sobrang appointments nung wednesday and thursday, so i only got a chance to study thursday around 7 pm. i went to a nice quiet pizza place in bf (hahaha, kahit kelan bf loyalist ako, diba rish?) and breezed through the review booklet and the sample exams. total time: 6 hours.
syempre, wala pang results so di ko pa ma back up yung aking claim with effectivity, hehehe. but at the very least, nung nag exam ako, feeling confident naman ako kahit papaano. and that confidence helped in actually taking the exam.
how does it help, aside from getting you to read at more than 4 times your normal reading rate? it helps you focus totally on the topic, so you don't dawdle. ayan sakit ko yan, yung supposedly nag aaral pero ang daming ibang inaatupag. titingin dito, kakain, iinom ng kape, ganun ba. you read three lines, drink your coffee, and then go back to the same three lines, not remembering if you read them or not. i know, ganyan na ganyan ang experience ko nung nagrereview ako last year. anyway, the actual time you read is shorter, but if you do it right, you should be able to remember more. and they have a very useful study method that they teach in the course.
look at me, plugging shamelessly, hahaha! but i really am finding it very useful, so i thought you guys might be interested. the basic class is 5 modules long, and each module is just three hours. we have sessions at the office in valle verde 1, before the caltex gas station and the bridge along c5. here's the schedule:
march 27 - 31 / daily / 1:30 - 4:30pm
april 1 - may 6 / saturdays (no class on april 15) / 9am - 12nn
april 17 - 21 / daily / 1:30 - 4:30pm
april 26 - may 3 / daily (no saturday) / 9am - 12nn
may 4 - 10 / daily (no saturday) / 1:30 - 4:30pm
may 15 - 19 / daily / 9am - 12nn
may 29 - june 2 / daily / 1:30 - 4:30pm
let me know if you're interested, i can tell you more about it. if you're willing to try it, i think it really will help a lot with the review process. again, good luck sating lahat!!! :D
