Hello

I am currently doing some studying to further my career.

I have been using the PhotoReading techniques I have picked up from the home study course. As part of my studying i have some material where i have sample questions and answers.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for PhotoReading material of this sort?

Is there something they have tried and their results.

From what i understand about PhotoReading, there are a variety of different techniques out there and you need to find what works for you. I was just wondering if other people have been in this situation and what they have found works or doesn't in their case.

Thank you

Hello.

Photoreading is not about developing a photographic memory.

If you are using photoreading for school it will involved many,many multiple superreading & dipping, skittering passes. It will involve adding more & more information to your mind-map.

Keep in mind that you are dealing with a textbook that is completely different from a regular book. Therefore you will be spending much more time than a regular book. A regular book you would activate in say (for a beginning photoreader maybe 90 minutes to 2 hours). A textbook you would activate in 25 to 30 hours.

Hello

Thank you for your reply.

I have gone over the photoreading book again and realized I have forgotten that you don't read everything the same, esp. when it comes to technical or textbook material.

I have restructured my methods and I'm getting better gelling results now.

Thank You.

Hello.

You're welcome.

Some information i should have given you but did not.

A textbook can take from 25 hours to 90 hours depending on the level of complexity.

It's all about layers.

Hello

Yes, the one thing i noticed i was doing was when looking at a technical book with chapters. I should treat each chapter as a book and I was trying to grab the whole thing.

As I broke it up it is working better for me.
