Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer I am getting little if any results.

Talie,
Find a reasson.
Seriously, your mind will not seek out information to remember if you don't give it something to look for.

If you get an assignment to read a certain book (or chapters) your purpose for reading the material can be stated in a number of ways. One possibility is "My purpose in reading this chapter is to find the main points and information that may be covered on the upcoming test (or assignment)". This is a starting point and can be refined (narrowed and/or changed) as you go through the book/chapter. Some texts have questions at the end of the chapter and you could use those questions for mind probing. You could also use the assignment for developing mind probing questions, or you could use your trigger words to develop mind probing questions.

In order to get anything out of the printed material, you have to give your brain something to look for. That's the purpose of the mind probing questions. The more specific your purpose and mind probing questions, the better your results will be.

Hope this helps...

Sincerely,
Gregory

You are correct. It is because you can actually remember, and recall what you photoread. After college you are lucky to remember 5% of what you learned, or so the statistics say. Plus, photoreading is a new kind of thing, and is going to give me great advantages as I complete my degrees.

Graduate schools are great, but that is still a couple of years away for me.
