I'd have to agree with Bruce. We manifest things by our thoughts, our beliefs determine our actions.
Personally, I wouldn't use PR solely to help me out of this situation. Especially since yo u are just learning it. PR is great, and it works but it takes time to learn. Time requires patience & effort.
I'd study PR as a part of your daily learning, in addition to studying the way you normally would (or wouldn't).
There are steps of PR which you can use in your normal studying, largely that of pre/postviewing, rapidreading, etc ..
