My name is Jorge I´m from Mexico; I consider myself a beginner PRer, because I´ve been using the system just few months ago. The main reason for which decided to learn how to use the system, was to prepare my certification exams as a ENT doctor; so I bought the book, then the personal learning course; took the semminar in Mexico and finally took the semminar with Paul Scheele last november as I recall. I´ve been practicing almost every day, repracticing listening the course cassettes and paraliminals also (dream play, memory supercharger, personal genius, etc.) and I can tell you I had some success after the last semminar, but only with spontaneus activation with non technical books, but self enhancement or nonfiction books. From there on my success with activation declined dramatically. Because I decided to question my mind about my medical book that I already PRed and did activation and rapid reading, I chalenge my self with some self assesment test (entering the accelerated learning state; and PR the test before start answering) on the topics of my professional boards and I flunked; when I repeated the boards without any preparation of the PR whole mind system (but different topics) my grades improved a little, and the correct answers were those that I recall been reading with the old fashion way (consciously).
I´m sure that the system works and I´m probably doing something wrong (very), but I don´t know what; at this very moment I´m feeling some sort of frustration, because my test it´s only 2 weeks from today, and all the effort it seems to have been gone to the garbage; and I wonder if had been better to work with the system of PR for a less risky occasion, and to have prepared my exam in the traditional way at this moment I don´t have the answer it´s just that I´m little bit desperado.
I would appreciate any comments, by the way I already read the subject "work on all kind of material", went through the DF about activation and well so far not good.
Jorge
