Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Good News for Me. Thankyou to all of you and Paul Scheele.

Just before the test i was using photoreading instead of studying for math and used memory supercharger also.
Anyway while in tape 4 Paul Scheele's advice on taking tests was very helpfull.
He said during a test the questions that seem hard(at least after you read the question)skip them immediatly and if u have time come back to them later.
This adivce is rather obvious but normally i ignore the advice from anyone else because i sometimes believe that if i leave it i will lose a lot of marks and not continue comfortably , which in this case was 12 marks , each hard q was worth 4 marks.
Because of Paul i took his advice because i understood by him that the inner mind after it reads it , takes time to connect with the concious mind to understand the language text and help you interpret exacly what they mean by the question.
While you do the other questions the mind is still thinking about the other questions and finally gets to the point of realising it when you are not paying attention to that question at all, rather concentrating on the other question.
Normally i ignore the advice as i believe it will be a big risk but i now believed that it will work and it did.
I ended up going up to all three of these 4 mark questions and getting them all right except for maybe 1 or 2 marks off one of them by maybe calculator errors but hopefully not.

Thanks for listening.

Good thing you kept going with the tapes
Well done.

Alex

thanx but i have a question about activation.
Say i photoread a chemistry book and i knew nothing about it.
Would i be able to know a lot about it after i activate it without super reading , dipping and so on?

also i dont understand activation too much i photoread the photoreading book and i wanna activate it , after i activate it would i know all about photoreading thats in the book?

When you photoread the information goes straight into your inner mind.

Activation is the process by which you bring what is in your inner mind to your conscious awareness.

There are 2 types of activation...
1. Sponataneous Activation. This is unreliable for most of our needs. Although it occurs with text books occasionally where the information has only been photoread and the student has successfully answered questions on a test. The only way to avoid superreading and dipping would be by having spontaneous activation.

2. Manual Activation. This is done by superreading and dipping. In 20 to 30 minute activation session repeated until you're satisfied that the book has gelled for you. Or to say it another way that you have brought to your conscious mind the information stored in the inner mind. At first a book that would normally takes you an average of 9 hours to read would require four to six activation session (about 2 to 3 hours) for you to gain the same and in many cases better comprehension of the book. That is a saving of 6 to 8 hours of reading initally. It gets even better with practice.

So if you photoread the PhotoReading book then inwardly you know the information that the book contains... now you need to use superreading and dipping to bring it to your conscious awareness.

Is there anyone out there who can activate sponataneouslsy? And if so what are the chances of being able to do that? Also would practicing alot of manual activation eventually lead a person to be able to sponataneously activate?

Practicing manual activation does make spontaeous activation easier. It also makes manual activation easier. you get faster and better at it every time.

During Physics study i understood everything by first not understanding then attempting to understand i taught my self in my own way with my own conclusions not knowing if they were actually right.
I felt i was a Genius!!!!
But i didnt get too bigheaded, we hate them in Australia lol.
And also during my exams i remembered everyhting i taught my self including chemistry,biology, and definetly physics.

I didnt even study for biology or chem but i went alright , so my question is , can tests actually be your time of activation?

The Physics study i felt was a cause of photoreading.

Also there is one negative thing i feel about photoreading and you might think im crazy.
This year i feel like everything i learn people now know a day later but they didnt know earlier , if i learn something new its spoon fed to them the next day(the class) , if i know a whole bunch of math , one has to know more even though really i know more , but they show more during tests.
I say to my Lord God 'Jesus Christ' please lord let me be top in just one subject and the one subject that brings me pride and that is math.
I believe that God brang me to photoreading.
Anyway i know i sound so emotinonal today, but i cant help it because im sick of bad marks and people always rubbing crap in me.
Everytime i feel like a crap thing is coming i run out of that way but something always brings me back to this area to feel the pain assosiated with the pain thats happening next like they say come here where are u going so i choose to run and feel satisfied that i beat that bad thing but because i beat it its like something wants to envoke more.
I HAVE HAD ENOUGH CRAP.
Also it feels like people now have access to my brain lol and that is annoying , all you probably think i need help but i see this all from my mind and wish to conquer these thoughts and believ continuously that the more i study i will beat them without believing that i will still fail because **** must happen to me.
Even after i post this i feel ppl might hate me now lol but i have to say this and plz dont hate me.

I got kinda the same insight as this guy.

This part :
'he spontaneously imagined thoughts, ideas, concepts, principles, and theories about physics'

Of this success story
well kinda

A beginning PhotoReader PhotoRead ten books a day for several weeks. He knew the way to master the system was to do it repeatedly so that the process became second nature. One morning he PhotoRead a book on how quantum physics relates to the brain. That afternoon, during a slow period of a Minnesota Vikings football game, he spontaneously imagined thoughts, ideas, concepts, principles, and theories about physics. Several days later, he told colleagues of his experience, one of whom was a physics expert. After quizzing the PhotoReader, the physics expert said that the PhotoReader, as a lay person, knew a heck of a lot about physics. The PhotoReader had tremendous confidence that, if he went back to the book and activated it, he would easily gain additional knowledge since PhotoReading had given him a solid basis of understanding.

Yes, not necessarily the most reliable method when you are stressed for your exam. When it happens that the information comes to you during a test it is a very good indicator that you are developing the inner mind connections. Tests are usually questions... Activation is asking yourself questions about the book.

You've set yourself a difficult task hoping/aiming to *Beat* other people. The only person you want to be is yourself. Perhaps do a bit better be a bit wiser today than yesterday. When sitting for a test you aim is for your personal best. It doesn't matter what anyone else does. Be the best you that you can be When you let go of needing to be better or come at the top 'just to show them' then you start allowing yourself to perform at your best.

Keep going with your success, build on that because you enjoy doing that more than anything else.
