Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Any San Diego Photoreaders?

I was wondering if there is any photoreader in San Diego area that can show me a demonstration of Photoreading or activation of a book.
Thanks in advance.

I just received the whole mind system last night so give me a couple of months I am in Spring Valley.

Yes, I do go to SDSU (post baq) and I am premed. I have photoread all my MCAT prep books , Biochemistry, cell molecular biology, physiology, etc. and I am taking the MCAT next Sat. It will be interesting to see how photoreading has helped.

Thanks. I graduated from SDSU with a Master's in Physiology and now I am just taking pre-med classes while I am applying this year. I am in the same boat as you are with photoreading. {Side Note: I also happen to have Subliminal Dynamics Home course (they started to market "Mental Photography" before Learning Strategies. I think the forum's negative criticism is a bit one sided. They present the same kind of concepts but in a different way. Maybe not as much elaboration on activation techniques but they touch upon most of them} I have had average success with the dictionary drill (5/15 direct hits, 6/15 opposite page/column, 4/15 misses). I don't have vivid dreams on the stuff I PRed. I have been going over the science part for the MCAT (by reading and activation methods), but I don't have concepts pop into my mind like intuition when I do the practice problems. That can be due to the fact they I have prior knowledge of the subject. I have tried to PR the verbal section, but I still progress at the same speed of reading as I would without PR. I know this system works, but I haven't yet built a strong connection to my inner mind. I have PR novels and not have a clue about the story (characters, plot, etc.) I need more work on it, I guess. As far as Org Chem, it came easy to me. (by the way, I didn't PR my Org Chem before the class) As long as you have a purpose and find enjoyment in learning the subject, you will do well in the class. That is the key! I will also be taking Histology and Cell Molecular Biology in the Fall. That will be a good test, since I PR my books already. Good Luck. Let me know about your results.

The classes I am taking is Bio 474 (Histology) and Bio366 (Molecular Cell Biology). I am still looking for a San Diego photoreader. I haven't been able to have any material "gel". I consciously pick up words, subvocalize them and move through the material quickly. Afterwards, I might remember some of the words but I don't know where they fit into concept. My dictionary drill has gotten worse, too. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Remember that the Dictionary Game is...a game! Play with it to begin learning how your inner mind provides information to you at a conscious level when you give it a question or request.

For your technical material, how are you activating it, and how much time are you spending? As a rule of thumb, you should activate in 30-minute sessions, cycling all of the activation techniques in step 4.

Dana,
I am rapid reading, dipping and skittering for about 30 minutes. I feel I can better comprehension by just reading it. I am also starting classes so the reading and lectures should activate the info.
How does one know if you are getting the info from Photoreading? To tell you the truth, I don't know if it is going it in. Or if the problem is getting it out. I haven't had dreams about the PR material or the "a ha" experience. Sometimes, I just lay down and ask myself questions about what I have PR. But all i come up with is material created by my imagination. It doesn't relate to the PRed material. I have people ask me what the vocabulary of an uncommon word is but I can't seem to answer them correctly. I have PRed the dictionary at least 30 times. I know this has to work, since there are individuals whom have found success. But I think I can't seem to get the activation part down.
Maybe you can provide more Online Books or articles and have us PR it and answer questions to the material.
What do you think?
