Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Outlines

To those in the know:

I'm not sure how to apply PRing to an outline for which I am responsible for all the information contained within including the finest detail. Since I know where the information I need is located, I am not sure how to apply super reading and dipping. I need PR to assist in learning and comprehending the material more so than in locating the material.

Where the purpose to get as complete an understanding as possible, would it not be more efficient to skip directly to rapid reading?

Have you the Memory Optimizer Course?
The ABC and Anchormans lists are great for this type of problem.

Yes I do, actually, but I did not think to apply it to this situation. Thanks.

Jon,

What is the material that you're are studying?

-CS
(Used PR to pass the bar exam - detailed stuff.)

Just thought you might find this funny...

This is your post from October 2002:

CONDENSED MATERIALS: I am studying from a condensed, law outline where everything is considered important, meaning if you see it in the outline you can be tested on it.
Since I need to know and bring to the conscious mind as much as possible, would I benefit by skipping superreading and heading directly to rapid reading?

-CS

I've found that mind mapping is the important tool when you need to know and understand the material. I mind mapped the course outline and only photoread the course material. I found in doing so I had a sound understanding of the material. It made sense if I had difficulty mind mapping any particular areas then those are the ones that I would have superread and dipped.

A point to remember. With superreading and dipping you are making an effort not to get bogged down on the material you know and move on to what you do need to know.

Commonsense,

That is funny. Maybe I should be asking for advice for guarding against senility. I forgot that I asked once before. I was new to PRing when that was originally written and I ended up putting PR aside because I wasn't yet comfortable using it. However, I'm back at it. While the material I talk of now is not the bar exam per se, it does have to do with real estate law.

Thanks for the input. Thank you also, AlexK.
