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.
