There are many ways to remember things.... you could teach yourself to learn holistically, that way, you have a bunch of facts that you know... and you can use them when you need them. Holistic learning lets you remember a lot without  too much practice... but not all people can do it. to memorize something straight, it would depend on whether you are a visual, audio, or interactive learner. If you learn visually, you can create a visual representation of what you are trying to memorize, like a map or diagram or chart. If you learn by hearing, you can listen to lectures on the topic, or read it out loud to yourself... just so you can hear it. If you learn by interaction, you learn by solving the problems, filling out answers, writing the facts over and over again.... it helps.

Speed Reading: well, it does depend on the person. I read superfast, but I can understand everything I read, but my friend has to slow down to grasp the concept... so all in all, it just depends.

Hope this helped! :)
