Thanks for your help in the past esp Alex K . I got through my law exams doing far less work than I should have. If it wasn't for photoreading I would I ahve fklunked altogether.

I know this is somehat similar to a post below. Recently I have started using photoreading again on primarily A level chemistry (last two years of High School in UK where 3/4 subjects are studied in some detail).

I photoread a 600-700 page biology textbook
700 page Chemistry book
700 page Physics books
and several maths books
+ an Basic Anatomy textbook.
For the wordier sciences my activation is going quite well. I studied Chemistry sometime ago and didn't do particularly well - (C) I couldn't graps some of the basic concepts. I have grasped the mole this time.
I am happy with my results for these. I don't have unrealistic expectations of being an expert in 5 mins,.


But I cannot get the system to work with my advanced level Mathematics.
Please help.

PhotoRead other books on the subject to help get the mind around the information. Focus on activating math book you need to work with. Activation is doing enough of the exercises to prove that you can do it.

When I was in high school I had a teacher who taught me that doing ALL the exercises is redundant . Pick a couple at random. Try to include those difficult ones. If you can do 4 out of the set of ten... go onto the next harder set. Only stay with a set of exercises if you are making mistakes. Once you got it right 4 times in a row it's fair to say you know how to do the formula correctly.

PhotoReading won't help you write the exercises faster as such it will help you understand it faster by reading the information supporting it faster.
