I am somewhat of a beginner to photoreading. The only step I have trouble w/ is activation and thanks to Alex I'm finally starting to realize how to activate more efficiently and eventually efficient spontaneous activation. Today I freenote a lecture and probably picked up more than anyone in the room, however that has nothing to do with photoreading. Here is my success so far...I am taking a class called cybercorps on how to build and repair computers and we take regular A+ testing for certification. My score before was a 367 which isn't bad for someone who knows nothing about the topic. Before my next A+ test...which was today...I photoread the entire 1,200 page book 2 times. I didn't activate at all (1,200 pages is quite a bit to activate). I went into the test really relaxed and the test I had was harder than the one I had taken before..(It picks random questions). I recieved a 518 (one of the highest scores in the class, especially considering some are computer freaks and some have even had the class before that is a really good score. Also, I improved by 151 points where the general average is between 30-50 point increase and that is due to about 20-30 minutes total of photoreadin and that is all. Some will argue that it was just lucky chance, but I believe its because I was relaxed and when I didn't know something I just let the answer come to me weather right or wrong.
