Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer problem with PR textbooks

I am a bit confused as to how to activate textbooks. I tried PR and activate my Spanish textbook, but when I was activating it, I found that nearly everything is important to read. Can some people that PR textbooks tell me how to handle them?

From traditional studying I know that when starting a new subject, everything seem important because you have no reference or standards to compare things.

Here are two different approach to dealing with it. The first is dive in and drink in the ocean. This is to overwhelm yourself with information and your mind will eventually start detecting patterns and rules and making sense of it.

The second is with you first passes with SR and dipping look for the 3 Most Useful-to-you ideas. Don't worry if you gotten "THE" most important. Actually just trust yourself that your mind knows better what you need than your conscious filter. Then build detail or the next most important / useful information. Remember that was is useful will change and you integrate the knowledge within yourself.

Good luck,

The problem with finding the most important information, unfortunatly, depends on the instructor. If the instructor is reasonable sane, you should have no problem finding what is important in the textbook. However, some instructors will put wierd questions on the test, ones that really are not on important points but minor details. I don't know why they do this, aside from screwing up students and maybe trying to stop people from Photoreading and speed reading. I had one of these professors. After the first test where I used Photoreading, I gave myself suggestions to find the most important information IN THE PROFESSOR'S MODEL OF THE WORLD. This worked. I used these suggestions before Photoreading and when I hypnotized myself before the tests.

I did a search for Textbook on the forum and came up with this link http://www.learningstrategies.com/forum/ubb/Forum8/HTML/000702.html
