Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Photoreading & A-Levels

I just got to know about Photoreading. I have not bought any Photoreading products or materials, nor have I learned any of its techniques.

I was wondering how it can help me in studying and preparing for major examinations like the A-Levels.

Thanks!

It can. PhotoReading is a different way of reading that allows you to get your reading done faster so instead of studying 6 hours every night after class you might only need to do one or two and even improve your grade to boot.

It's up to you and how you use the system.

Thanks for your reply, Alex.

My biggest problem is having to remember all those important facts, concepts, and theories. They're so many of them and I find it difficult to transfer them to my memory. Can Photoreading help me to commit tons of abstract knowledge to my long-term memory?

Let me be real clear here. Photoreading is not developing a photographic memory. What is guaranteed by learning strategies is that with photoreading you will be able to finish your reading in 1/3 of the time it would have taken you doing conventional reading. And that 1/3 of the time doesn't have to stay at level; in can be increased to where you are doing it in 1/10 of the time but the key is use it,use it, use it.

I understand what you mean. I merely wanted to know how I could enhance my memory in terms of retaining and recalling technical information.

Mindmapping is proposed as part of activation step and mindmapping can definitely help to enhance memory ability.

Hi!

when i did my a-levels i mindmapped one course and used mnemonic memory techniques for the rest. I didn't use PR but i think it would be definitely useful for familiarising yourself with the subjects and finding out the core information. Goodluck

I already know Mind Maps. I sometimes draw them manually and other times, I use Mind Map computer software to draw them.

Nick, what's the best way to score As for the A-Levels? Doing past year papers?

If you apply all of the PhotoReading system you should have good recall of the information.

Best to collect the past 5 years worth of papers to find the common questions and whichone change a little year after year.

I read in one of Tony Buzan's books that students must revise constantly, if not the information which they have previously learnt will be forgotten within 24 hours.
