it depends entirely on the book
i.e. how big the font is and how many words per page, and also how dense and complex the prose and ideas are

yes

>>11794957
Easily, just don't read all of the words

>>11794957
You skim.

>>11794972
it's a medicine book

I had to do that kind of last minute reading before a test once. I just skipped every ten words, ended up reading exactly a tenth of the book, but that tenth was evenly distributed among the whole book, so I still had a fairly good grasp on the text. Finished the book in just over an hour. Aced the test.

>>11795020
lmao you're fucked

>>11795040
It.is.not.working.

>>11795151
It's over.

>>11795151
It takes some getting used to. You'll get the hang of it.

>>11795151

Just read the chapter summaries.

u fucked white boi

>>11795020
how many of those pages are just pictures?

it's time to assert yourself, anon. are you going to let yourself remain a bug before the Authorities your whole life? this is your moment to make your stand. go up to your professor before class and say
>listen, dipshit, I didn't even read your faggy book and do you know why? because I was wanking it to your mother's anal joi vids on youporn. what are you going to do about it, pussy bitch
then light a cigarette in his face and stand with your feet squarely shoulder-length apart, thumbs in belt loops, and blow the smoke in his face. if there's a pretty girl in the front row then turn around and wink at her or offer her a toothpick
you've got this, anon. I believe in you

>>11795209
SERIOUS replies only. I'm in big trouble if I don't fucking read AND learn these pages in less than 3 hours.
>>11795178
I can't get the hang of anything anymore. I've read 300 pages today and my brain's a mess. I'm on the brink of breaking down.
>>11795180
Not an option.
>>11795204
There's pictures on some pages but not nearly enough to reduce the page number significantly.

>>11795252
>look up summary of whatever in the book and/or skim through it.
or
>get in car crash so you have an excuse for not showing up to whatever you have to do.

your choice anon.

>>11795209
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA holy shit u made my day ffs

>>11795252
Fuck med school and fuck uni, don‘t waste 7 years of ur precious life, anon

I highly recommend you do this
>>11795209
And film it if u can

>>11794957
do it

speed reading is literally for brainlets

>>11795209
This except unironically. Prepare a squirt gun with your semen mixed into the water and blast it into everybody's faces while shouting "SEMPER FI". Wake up early enough to consume laxatives, then eat a breakfast of 12 raw eggs, beef, and corn dogs as ammunition; wear assless chaps, affix a fan over your gluteus muscle and then spray everybody with your excrement.

>>11795020
no lie, ive done this once for an essay, read likw 150 pages and took notes (incl. copy paste) in like a few hours.

>>11795020
was neuroscience too.

>tfw you realize this person is going to college to try and have a license to put your life in his hands

>>11796645
>tfw you realize that 90% of med students are just like op

>>11796645
>try

thank god at least medical schools have the sense to throttle acceptance rates

shoe-ins because the student is all buddy-buddy with the local hospital staff on the other hand....

Did OP died? I need to know what happened.

>>11797238
yeah, he read to ded

>>11797238
he tried this >>11796436 and is now awaiting trial for life imprisonment

>>11794957
i can skim a hundred pages in an hour

For a good grade in medicine learning 215 pages would take you at least a week. Anyway, how did it turn out, OP?

>>11796645
People like him won't make it, don't worry. Medicine school is extremely hard to get into (in the first world, at least) but extremely easy to get out of again (without a degree).

>>11797995
Dude these people can make it, I am the best example.

>>11794957

what was the book even about op?

>>11794957
>>11795020

Of course you can. whether or not you'll retain anything you've read is another question (you won't). Unless you have a prodigious memory, just forget about medical school, unless the thought of being a doctor outweighs the 7 + years of intellectual torture you'll have to endure to become one

Doctors are all faggots
Stalin did NOTHING wrong

>>11794957
in the 1800's people thought it was impossible to land on the moon.

>>11794957
Perhaps. Depending on the text and what not. I'm not an especially fast reader, but I can usually power through a 100 or so pages in that time.

>>11795420
Seriously, it’s time to get in a wreck or something at this point

>>11798959
This or flashy suicide attempt

>>11795020
when reading textbooks I do like 9 pages an hour
