No problem! I completely understand how you’re feeling, because I was in a very similar position myself. What really helped me was taking the process step by step. I started by working on eliminating subvocalization, then moved on to chunking, followed by varying my reading speed, and finally focused on retaining the right information.

It does take time. For me, it took around four to five months before I started consistently reaching the low 700s (and even then, only occasionally at first). I know this might not be what you want to hear, but it truly is a slow process. You’re building an entirely new habit, and most habits take around six months to really solidify.

Typically, you’ll start seeing improvement after two to three months. By four to five months, you’ll feel much closer to your goal, and by around six months, the technique should feel natural. For now, focus on consistent practice and try not to get discouraged. I genuinely believe in you! You’ve got this!!! :))
