"I am really impressed with the amount that I gained in 3 hours. The other program I tried really didn't do much and cost 4 times as much as this course did." -N.K. Nduom, Princeton University Before PX Method: 385 words per minute (1.1 pages per minute) After PX Method: 1419 words per minute (4.1 pages per minute)

Why have the developers of the PX Method been featured in media worldwide, ranging from CBS and The New York Times to Amazing News in Japan?

Simpleit beats any other system on the market in less than 3 hours. The PX Method is the only speedreading and hyperlearning system in the world so effective that it has been featured by MAXIM magazine and presented at the MENSA High-IQ Society. In 1998, a select group of 32 Princeton University undergraduates were taught a new and experimental set of reading techniques referred to as the "PX Method." In a single 3-hour experiment, their average reading speed increased 386% with no decrease in reading comprehension. Available only at the highest levels of academics and research for the last 6 years, the PX Method is now available to the general public for the first time through the Adaptive Learning Institute (ALI). The PX Method is the only system to be labeled the fastest and most scientific speed reading program in the world by world-famous educator, Sherwood Forlee, author of Electroactive Polymer: its Potential as Artificial Muscle.
Science makes the difference: Developed and tested by top Ivy League learners
"...my reading speed went through the roof -- 757%! I've trie d the m all, and this is the m ost amazing syste m I have e ve r se e n." -J. R ichardson, Stony Brook Unive rsity
The most popular commercial speed reading programs are based on disproven techniques involving the subconscious and new-age pseudoscience. Basic research on Lexis-Nexus and MedLine immediately discredits these approaches, which ignore the most basic scientific fact: reading speed is determined by the mechanical movement of the eyes. See our unpaid testimonials page for feedback from students who have used these ineffective programs prior to the PX. The PX Method, in sharp contrast, was developed by analyzing the reading techniques and eye movements of top students from the worlds most elite learning institutions, including Princeton University, Yale University, London School of
Economics, Harvard University, Stanford Business School, St. Paul's School, and Philips Exeter Academy. What is the science behind the speed? The commonalities among top readers were isolated and combined with the last three decades of advanced neuroscience research to provide a user friendly system for giving average readers the capabilities to read alongside the top 1% in the world within 3 hours. In 8 years and 2,600 man-hours of investigation and experimentation, the PX Method has been repeatedly proven as the most effective step-by-step procedure in the world for increasing reading speed without decreasing comprehension. The PX Method has been tested with 6 languages, and even dyslexics have been conditioned to read technical material at up to 3,000 words-per-minute (wpm) (10 pages per minute). By comparison, the average reading speed in the United States is 150-300 wpm (1/2 to 1 page per minute), with only the top 1% reaching 400 wpm.
"Instant gratification is a big se lling-point of the PX Me thod." B. Loh, Prince ton Unive rsity 264 wpm to 1080 wpm
The PX Method is specially designed to put you in this top 1% within 3 hours.
"I never thought I would be able to read as fast as I did and understand what I read. I am happy be cause now I can study m uch m ore thoroughly by re ading a book m any tim e s in the sam e pe riod it would have tak e n m e to re ad it once " -Ste ve B., East Ham pton High School 145.7 wpm to 2358.2 wpm More Te stim onials >
the text within your focus area (approx. the size of a quarter at 8" from reading surface). Each fixation can last to seconds in the untrained subject. To demonstrate this, close one eye, place a fingertip on top of that eyelid, and then slowly scan a straight horizontal line across this line of text with your other eye; you will feel distinct and separate movements with periods of fixation. B) You must minimize regression and back-skipping to increase speed. The untrained subject engages in regression (conscious rereading) and backskipping (subconscious rereading via misplacement of fixation) for up to 30% of total reading time. C) You must use conditioning drills to increase horizontal peripheral perception and the number of words registered per fixation. Untrained subjects use central focus but not horizontal peripheral vision span during reading, foregoing up to 50% of their words per fixation (the number of words that can be perceived and "read" in each fixation).
