I'm a college student, beginning to get a grasp of the PR system. In most math and technical classes, I've found that I can understand the theory better than the vast majority of the class, but when it comes to solving problems, I'm pretty miserable. Since the exams are almost all based on problems, I struggle to achieve a half decent score every time. It's as if I have all these great ideas and images in my head but I'm unable to put them down on paper in an understandable format. It's disappointing, having invested all the time and effort, to find that almost all my peers who would cut class or sleep during it would still end up outscoring me.
I'm guessing the most appropriate advice would be to invest most of my studying time to working problems. Often, I'd be working along until I'm stuck at a point for hours and be forced to eventually consult the answer key for the "trick" required to get past that point.
I'm wondering how I can utilize the steps of PR to help out. Since I'm pretty solid with the theory, Photoreading a dozen other books on the subject probably won't help, but perhaps photoreading worked out solutions to practice problems (if I don't have time to do all the problems)? Also, any ideas of appropriate paraliminals (besides memory supercharger and personal geinus)?
