Is it possible to marathon though a book?

I've done this before with a graph theory class/textbook. It was definitely a job for amphetamines.

If you care, it's an excellent way to cram, but it's a horrible way to learn and retain.

How much did it take?

It took about 10 hours without eating, but that's only easy on 40mg of vyvanse. A in the class, but I hardly remember things past proofs of coloring polynomials etc.

What book do you want to do?

Somewhat related: I've done it for side interests, like psych (was actually kinda depressing how silly psych is) and macroeconomics (DGSE so cash). Very fun Saturday.

That's not much.
I can do 10 hours a day for a month without drugs.

I once read through my entire OChem book in about 8 hours taking notes the day before my final. Ended up with almost 300 pages of notes but I got a 97% despite missing the majority of the classes

Relatively short book, relatively easy subject (at the undergrad level, obviously).

Then why don't you? You could finish most undergrad degreees with that amount of studying.

Ayyy that's the only respectable way to do OChem. Did you retain much of it after? I usually lose it over the following break when I cram a whole class.

forgot to mention I was on some adderall my friend had given me. I think one 40mg XR while reading plus another one before my final. Didn't eat anything during the 2 day span and I eventually had to ask him for 0.5mg of Xanax so I could sleep.

Because I'm extremely slow.
You have no idea how much time a waste in useless details.

I retained enough that when I moved onto classes that required an OChem background I could easily follow it, but it was always pretty basic stuff. I need to dig through my college jun and find that notebook and see what all I had written. 5 years later I can barely remember SN/E reactions, ring substitutions and alpha/beta carvon substitutions; granted I haven't had to use any of that shit since then

HOLEE FUCK BUMP
