I've just taken a test with multiple choice questions after PhotoReading. I just PR the book and did no activation on the chapter I tested. I got 50% correct. Now, I'd love if someone else (who hasn't read the book "Principles & Practice of Marketing" or in any way is skilled in the area of marketing) could do the test. This would be a great comparison, in order to test if the PR step alone made any difference.

Please go to the below link to take the test
and then post your result. http://mcgraw-hill.co.uk/he/web_sites/business/marketing/jobber/files/selftests/job3_mcq_ch21.htm

Hey zeus,

I got a 33.3% without reading the article.

Hopefully that says something for your theory.

To my surprise I did a 6/12, 50% of my answers were correct. I've 0 knowledge about marketing. Answered some by intuition and the rest at random.

Bye.

Just think you all, if you used a manual activation technique then retook the test, what would you think your scores would have been?

I understood that zeus asked for others to simply do the test. I personally don't have that book.

Me neither, I did it without reading, either.

Of course I did **** poor, but that's probably why I'm horrible with money.

I didn't check which responses I got right, most of them were answered by luck I bet.

I'm worst than anyone at economy, it just plain bores me. Took me 30min to complete that 12 questions test... answering, lazing at IRC or WWW, then coming back to hassle with the next question, and trying to not fall asleep in the process, etc

..i dont think you can use PR like that unless you've done it for a long long time like Paul.

Thanks for your input!

I decided to try the test questions for another chapter. I PR the book one more time and after I closed my eyes I did the Three screens technique (The Silva Method). Then I immediately listened to Super Memory Charger. And then took the test.

Result: I improved my score to 66,67% (8/12)

The test I did can be found at:
