Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Study Skills Help

I'm a college student, beginning to get a grasp of the PR system. In most math and technical classes, I've found that I can understand the theory better than the vast majority of the class, but when it comes to solving problems, I'm pretty miserable. Since the exams are almost all based on problems, I struggle to achieve a half decent score every time. It's as if I have all these great ideas and images in my head but I'm unable to put them down on paper in an understandable format. It's disappointing, having invested all the time and effort, to find that almost all my peers who would cut class or sleep during it would still end up outscoring me.
I'm guessing the most appropriate advice would be to invest most of my studying time to working problems. Often, I'd be working along until I'm stuck at a point for hours and be forced to eventually consult the answer key for the "trick" required to get past that point.

I'm wondering how I can utilize the steps of PR to help out. Since I'm pretty solid with the theory, Photoreading a dozen other books on the subject probably won't help, but perhaps photoreading worked out solutions to practice problems (if I don't have time to do all the problems)? Also, any ideas of appropriate paraliminals (besides memory supercharger and personal geinus)?

Try photoreading and making sure you include the answers or trick section. Your inner mind then has the understanding of the way the problem is solved for you to start working it out consciously.

Also before you get stuck too long on any one problem take time out to photoread the whole textbook again. This may help in clarifying your thinking.

Another tip is to photoread additional textbooks on the subject not just the one you're working with for class. Most of the additional books you won't even have to activate but be open to it. One of the others might just be crying out to be activated because it shows the answer better for you conscious mind to understand or an alternative way of understanding it.

I think you are approaching the problems with the same old paradigm that we used for reading. Before Photoreading, I would try to master or learn everything as I read, forcing what I could in through the concious mind. That's not effective. You need to go over the material many times, each time learning more as you go.

Same is true with problems. Stop thinking u have to solve them the first time through. Think of it as you would a video game, you play through once, and as you get better, you return to the same levels to try them again. Use this multiple pass through method on the problems. Try a set of problems, then use the answer key for the ones you cannot get. Do NOT get stuck. A day later, work through the problems again, then again, and again, until they become second nature. If multiple passes helps in reading, wouldn't multiple attempts at solving the same problems also strengthen your ability? I think so.

Don't get stuck. Use the answers key. Keep working through the problems - even the ones you can answer - multiple times. I'm just a newbie here, but I hope this helps.

P.S. Do this in conjunction with what AlexK recommended.

Hi just remember PR is just a game, so play with it, use your imagination, if you was going to show somebody how you could photoread, how would you do that?

How would you want it to feel? Look, and sound?

if you have this skill already and you do, how might you like to learn in away that works for you?

Maths is an other than conscious process so just get a pile of book and Pr them, upsidedown as well, try to visulize the answers on a wall or a blackboard, create a mental calcalater just like the one you alrady have anyway, that how you might use the GENIUS tape.
