Hi,
Alex Viefhaus is not a male she is a female. And she is a very nice lady. She also is a very powerful photoreader. At this time Alex is not the moderator of the photoreading forum.
Dana Hanson is currently the moderator of the photoreading forum. Dana is a very powerful photoreader as well. He has a wealth of experience and expertise in Photoreading.
Before you attempt to learn photoreading on school studies it is highly recommended that you don't. It has been mentioned numerous times on this discussion forum not a good idea to try to learn photoreading on school material.
So what should you do?
First learn and master photoreading on simple books say for example a self help book. Learn how to photoread on 20 books yes you heard it right 20 simple books. After you have successfully activated 20 simple books books that don't have a grade attached to it after you can prepare, preview, photoread, postview, mind probe questions superead and dip skitter and mindmap successfully then you can start using photoreading on school material after you have proven competency with the techniques.
You see it would be a challenge to try to learn photoreading and school studies at the same time. Actually it would become a distraction and hinderance from focusing on your studies.
So after you can successfully apply all the techniques of the photoreading whole mind system on 20 simple books non-school books books that don't have a grade attached to them then you can start using the photoreading system on school books.
You will have much better results and retain more by mindmapping for 20 minutes STOP! Go take a 7 minute break go for a walk get completely away from the books after your 7 minute break mindmap again for 20 min then another 7 min break mindmap again for 20 min take a 7 min break mindmap again for 20 min but after you have mindmapped for 90 minutes it is time to take a 15 min to 20 min break. You will get much more out of it by doing it this way instead of trying study for 60 minutes with no breaks.
The beauty of photoreading is that a complex subject such as calculus becomes easier as you photoread it because photoreading involves the non-conscious mind the part of the mind that can attend to 20,000 things going on at the same time whereas your conscious mind can attend to 6 to 8 bits of information at a time.
So if you know how to do the photoreading step definitely photoread your calculus book on a regular basis. Start photoreading your calculus book every day for 2 weeks after that photoread your calculus book once a week during the semester. Again learn and master the activation techniques on simple books do not distract yourself from your studies trying to learn activation techniques on school textbooks if you know how to photoread fine photoread the textbook but don't try activating a textbook until you can prove to yourself you can successfully activate a simple book.
First we learn to crawl, then we learn to walk, then we learn to run.
Do not look for or expect miracles with photoreading. A experienced photoreader can take a college textbook that would take someone else without photoreading it would probably take that person 90 hours to do that textbook whereas the experienced photoreader could activate and do that book in 30 hours.
And remember as powerful as photoreading is you still have to work on the questions you still have to do the problems you still have to do the work.
What photoreading delivers is 1/3 the time where without photoreading you would have spent 90 hours on a textbook with photoreading 30 hours on the textbook.
