I increased my reading speed by 50% in one semester of graduate school doing one thing. No Music, No computer and No video. I use to read with music and then I just tried reading 100 pages with music (No vocals mostly Jazz and Classical) and 100 pages without music and I was at least 20% faster. I ended up getting almost 50% faster do to my work load.
Was a graduate student in Theology. On average each class was around 4,000 - 6,000 pages of reading a semester. With 4 classes you could have 24,000 pages to be read. That is around 500 pages a week, not including research and papers etc.
Historical Theology and Seminar classes have been on average around 10,000 pages of reading. I have had to read over 700+ pages for one class in a week. The issue was I HAD to read and comprehend. This was dense stuff with complex context and thought.
