I previewed the book, wrote down some key words and a purpose (granted I wanted to understand the book and the feelings of the people), PR'd the book and did not take a break. I just let the info soak into my mind then I immediately took the exam. Now as I was taking the exam I reviewed each question and sent a request into the mind to get the answer. I know that you should take a break but I wanted to test the level of retention after immediately reading the book. After taking the exam, I got 70% retention. I just asked the questions and let go. I felt the right answer come to me as I then reviewed the question a second time. Now, if I super read and dip, I am sure that retention will even be higher. On the questions that I missed, I let my conscious mind get in the way by just "thinking" to much. I really am believing that this works.
