I am trying to use PRing to pass Actuarial Exams which are very difficult. These exams not only includes a lot of complex math (calculus) but have a strong orientation to minutia. (Nobel Prize winner Milton Freedman went into economics only after he was not able to pass actuarial exams.) After a year and a half of trying PRing for three failed attempts at (spending over 500 hours for each) Actuarial exams, I have strong reservations about the somewhat “magical” claims they purport. I do, however, acknowledge that it has been good to increase concentration. I also think that the general approach is good. Perhaps as good as one can get. (Actually the PRing does, I think, decrease “blocks” which I think inhibit learning.) Part of the problem is that they claim that you, “only need to learn 10% of the printed material.” Well if that is an acceptable goal, then, yes, PRing works. But for purposes like your medical exams and my actuarial exams, 10% just does not cut it. I still use PRing. It is just that I do not have such grand expectations.
You mention various learning tests. Can you elaborate on them please? I am also interested in hearing about your learning disability. I wonder, sometimes, if I have one.
