HI.I'm a University student in China and taking Dual Degree Program(Software Development & Economy). Photoreading works very well on me.
In Both of my subjects,among my classmates, there is a huge misunderstanding,thinking that everything is equally important in books, in order to pass the exam,in order to learn it well,one have to learning everything with identical effort.
But as a A+ student,I would say it's the biggest fault.In the exam,On the surface,It seems that students who achieve high score and Professional in the subject knows everything well. Yet. in fcat, The truth is they build the structure inside their mind and really catch the point of the textbook! there's no doubt that every subject has its structure and basics ,they are simple,yet everything is just built upon them.So our job is to find out how they compose Everything! in this way you can beat a giant with little stone ! When encountering new situation you just catch the point with dramatical speed(superread, skitter)!
I remember reading an article written by a law science student,which said,If you think law science is nothing but memorize,then it proves you haven't stepped into it.It has its own logical and structure. Once you have mastered it, everything become easy.Then you can just skitter the "key word" once and then are able to easily repeat it,since you know why this and that sentences are stated in such way. Because you have known exactly the inner meaning,and inner structure. Like learning a language,for native people it just so easy,no matter words,expressions or senteces,much less grammars. but somehow so hard for a foreignner, it all dues to inner structure and deep understanding.
So you may choose to read some basic book about law science,like Mon-tesquieu "The SPIRIT of LAWS".Despite what type of books,You really don't need to work on everything. Remember, build it in layers. absolutely Not all the information is parallel.In one layer something just make completely no sense yet next layer it could become the Major Role.In every layer you just want to solve the question that most benefited(Marginal revenue MAX) to you.If it is of low value just pass it ! Layers is everything in Activation,It's your books serve you,not opposite.
Anyway ,No matter whether you Really Desire to gain an insight into law science to make things easy,Memory technique can be useful to you. Search it,or if you have sufficient time you may have interest in Memroy Optimizer.
