Okay, exam results back yesterday so i thought i'd let people know how things have been going since i started trying to PR about 8 months ago.

Question: has PR improved my grades? No.

Question: has PR allowed me maintain an honours score average, despite second year being loads harder than the first, and me actually having something now that resembles a social life? Oh yes.

All in all i'm pretty chuffed with the system, and cos i'm not really that proficient yet there's loadsa scope to improve my grades.

Most of all i wanna say cheers to everyone here for your ideas and constant input!

All the best to everyone!

Nick

Nick,

Thank you for taking the time to post this. It's always good to hear of success with the program.

Can you share with us anything you've learned over the last 8 months which has made utilizing the PR'ing system easier for you? Did you make modifications for your needs or did you do it by the book?

What were you studying?

Thanks,
Tracey

Tracey,
All the stuff i've tried i've found on this forum (and the book of course).

One big thing is limiting my activation to 30 mins. I'm a terrible procrastinator, i get really intimidated by the amount i have to do, 30 min activations takes the pressure off a bit.

Another thing i found useful is as well as asking yourself questions as you read, is to get hold of MCQ books as well.

Definitely mindmap; i'm really lazy so i never really did this until the last few days, if only i'd done it sooner...

This has all been written elsewhere by people who know what they're doing, but i know i need things to be repeated a million times for it to sink in.

Cheerio

Nick

Hello nickuk,
Would you please tell us what you mean by 'MCQ' books? I'm always looking for new tips. Thank you.

No probs. MCQ = multiple choice questions.
Also there tends to be loads at the back of textbooks also.
