Gareth, answering questions in a practice exam IS activation. In fact, when we PR lots, just about anything that happens is/could be activation of something we have PR'ed.
I once reported on PRing the French/English dictionary, text book, grammar everyday for, I am not sure any more, a couple weeks. I didn't do 'deliberate' activation; French class itself was the activation.
CommonSense, I ordered the Rapid Reading book you recommended and it arrived a week ago. Looks promising, haven't had time to work with it yet. *sigh* When I have a book I want to read, then I tend to get greedy and want to get every word of it, including the 80% that contains only 20% of the useful info. So I do end up wanting to rapid read. Trouble is, I am a slow rapid reader, due to subvocalization. I really look forward to getting that under control. Thanks for the tip.
