Hello ,raleigh199 , I see you stated this previously above:

"I agree with all other posts on this thread, but I thought I'd clarify my two cents, as I have always been a STRAIGHT A student! "

My point is, how natural did this photoreading come to you since you appeared to have always been a "straight A " student like you said?
Sheer discipline or above average intelligence or both?
How did photoreading affect your "learning ability" so to speak, ie, were you learning just as much before but quicker or did PR revoluntionise your whole way of learning? (seeing as you were already acustomed to high achievement study beforehand)

It would be interesting to clarify what type of apitude picks up photoreading quicker and applies it more effectively than others. Undoubtedly there must be variations.

On another note I would love to know what is the average length it takes to "master" PR completely, like how far average intelligence can bring you until natural talent takes over -- in other words ,what does it take to reach scheele's level>?
