I got a 2.8 GPA in college because I could never force myself to read. Its not that I dont spend time on it, because I spend countless hours in front of my book. It just takes forever, and I never get the sense that I am understanding/remembering what I read. I have even tried using the SQR3 method. My average reading speed when it comes to fiction or some other article that I am reading is around 300 wpm, which is normal. But when it comes to reading textbooks and other academic material, I sometimes crawl at a pace of 1 page per hour, and on average read around 3 for that same period. It is highly frustrating, and I need to pass this CPA exam and do other things with my life before I can get anywhere. Please help!
