How to be a genius?!

Wan, I got the MENSA genius message, I have watched all these videos before. If you need testimony I did use that one-eye reading/skimming technique, saying omm and ahh also, during the SAT and I got better reading scores than I had ever gotten before. I usually get like 610-630, but that time I got 740, which really helped me with college apps and that helped me be a national merit scholar. I had good PSAT, but I had to take the SAT afterwards to confirm the scores and if I hadn't had the good reading score than I wouldn't have matched my PSAT and gotten the scholarship. So thanks, so you can say something like this if you need testimony,

"These techniques really worked. I used them on my SATs and I got a reading score went from a 610 to a 740"

something like that, or my reading score way improved.

I sent him that. The one eye reading technique is really great for improving performance reading where you have to read fast and understand. It makes a lot of sense too, because when you close one eye, the hemisphere that controls that eye becomes a much stronger force in comprehension. Try it. If you close your right eye you pick up different things than your left. Like emotional content and abstract ideas in one hemisphere and actual details and plot events in the other. If you just skim closely with each one seperately and then with both your comprehension will greatly improve. You'll understand things better and you wont have to take so much time to read the entire text.

After you skim, answer easy questions like defining words, and then move on to the harder questions, so you have more time to better comprehend the passage.
