This is my first post on this message board. I came by this site as I was searching for web pages with information on study skills, learning techniques, and speed reading. I must say from the testimonials on the site, the product sounds great, but I'm still not sure. I have to remind myself that Learning Strategies is a business and despite the good intentions of the corporation in helping people learn, it's number one priority has to be selling tapes (or else they don't eat!). Having said that, I have viewed the web pages of other courses and I have to say that this one looks the most reasonable. I followed a link posted on this board to mind-tek products and that stuff looked pretty far out (as well as expensive). I would greatly appreciate it, if anyone who has used any of these products could share with me their experience with them. How long did it take to learn? Do you have the same success as the testimonials on the website? How do you apply what you have learned to you life? Do you know of any sources praising or discrediting the products that are not affiliated with the company? There is one specific item that I am concerned with. Some of the testimonals (i.e. the one about the girl who could write better because she subconciously acquired the styles of the authors that she read) have lead me to believe that this is some type of hypnotic course. Am I to believe that after taking this course and using the techniques, that I will be able to take a test and get the answers right, without knowing anything simply because I learned the answers subconciously not conciously? I feel as if I am mis-interpreting the claim, but I would like some clarification. Thank you in advance for any help. For all you college football fans,...
