Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Studying medicine with PR - need HELP!!!

I am a medical student in Australia and in a fit of desperation bought the PR Whole Mind System last year and had it shipped over to me.

Forgive the blaspheme - but I haven't had much success so far!!!

Confessions:
No, I haven't stuck to it very well.
No, I haven't practiced very much.
No, I haven't ever completed all of the steps for even a single book.

Truth is, I found that it was all still too time-consuming - esp. the mind-mapping stages. So I regressed back to the cave-man-style of normal reading. True, I wasn't remembering too much of it, but atleast I was getting through the material quicker and so FELT better on the surface!

I feel that the rule of "all the important stuff is said within 10-20% of the words" doesn't quite work with medical literature - usually every sentence has a new fact/detail and so can't afford to be skipped.

So here I am seeking help/advice/strategies/encouragement etc.

Waiting in hope,
Prynceska
