Thanks for your reply, I really appreciate it. But, see, during my early years from K-8, I was not a bright student, lol (no motivation, by anyone include myself). Actually, in one summer, I flipped and started doing excellent from there on because I knew my transcripts would now matter (my GPA is a 4.1 now, beyond the regular max). But, now that I'm entering a new school, it seems harder for me, for the fact is I will have to start over again to accomplish what I did earlier. And with one mess up in college, you're dead for chances of Med School. So, I do not like taking chances, especially with something like "PhotoReading." I mean, speed reading though claims to cover ALL the material in still yet a short amount of time, with near 100% Comprehension rates. I don't know whether this (below) would affect my PhotoReading ability or not, but it sure as hell would with SpeedReading - Over the years, I have found out that I have a very unique ability to read once normally (lol, and those rates aren't super slow - avg. 400-600 wpm), and devour the information through memory with great levels, making it unnecessary to reread, or even TRY, to memorize information after. It is almost as if it was semi-photographic(I have recited Cliff Notes Books word for word, for AP exams and such). It has come to help me through many subjects, including bio, chem, physics, math, ETC. - anything, you name it. I do not do that great on STANDARDIZED (state/national) tests though - I mean I can score decent, but not excellent. I would like to improve upon that, for lets say my future MCAT, and I think that speedreading will give me a definite opportunity to minimize most stress on much of any school-related thing. PhotoReading? Not quite so sure. Plus, if it really does work, PhotoReading, I will go nuts and read anything I have my hands on, heh. I really do have much ambition to be as competent as is possible...I really want this to work. Which is better? The course, seminar, or both? I am willing to do the seminar, even if it does cost that much. How long would it take for someone like me to even learn how to PhotoRead with decency? I mean, intermediate levels within a few months, master within --? (I know Pete has been doing it for 15 yrs or so, lol...I don't mean to be an expert like him). See, my straight away fact is this: My courses, medicine, require every piece of information to be known (memorized, essentially), and I don't think photoreading can do that much, but I'd like to believe it. Thank you in advance for your replies, everyone.
