Ruslan, the owner of the business, responds to student requests in short and arrogant one liners. According to his behavior the customer is always wrong.
He needs to develop people skills or hire people that don't take offense in answering customer questions.
As he did in earlier posts in this forum, he constantly contradicts himself.
About the refunds, it is true that he was nasty in the process. I am yet to see if I get my money back.
I have reported him with the HI better business bureau. There are already several reports about this phenomenal memory operation. I know that I will have the bad experience in my memory for a phenomenal amount of time.
A business run by such a hateful and unhappy person such as Ruslan will fail.
Come to light young jedi.

Learn Memory Techniques - Memorise.org

^^, Seriously though, Phenomenal memory is good, they have good memory, but they just lack training in the important parts. Public relations.

I guess they have a lot to prove. ^^,

the basics you may learn from that link above and below

How to Memorize - wikiHow

How to Memorize Verbatim Text : Productivity501

Free memorization information that you can really really apply.

Easy Tips For Faster Reading - Photoreading

Mind Mapping - Step by Step - Adult Education, Education, and mind maps

The links I provided here are all free, and if you practice them, let's say 5 minutes a day, you just shuffle what every topic your interested in, you will improve. This in itself if free and you do not have to pay a single cent.

Just be conscious and learn them in a meditative state <-- deep breathing/concentration.

How do you apply these in real life? Productivity and self improvement in a general sense.

Experiment and try, if one method does not work for you disregard it.

Note:

What works among these things.

Photoreading + Mindmap(i call it, hybrid outline, because literally that's what it is) = best friend in understanding and comprehension. No memorization required here. (your best friend in school and in learning)

The rest you will have to try. Mnemonics/ link system/ journey/peg system and the others you will have to experiment with these. (they work like a mindmap)

example.

In the major system

1 = T = Tea (applying peg)

Applying method of loci/Journey sytem

Visualize a realistic movie of a tea cup (not a picture)

on the handle of the tea cup are 3 different tea leaves (black/green/oolong)

that's how an outline works aka mindmap

O-1 subject <-- subdivided by other sub items ^^

Rote memory - it's the basics, it is a good back up if everything else fails.

Start from the end of what you want to memorize verbatim.

Ex. Stevepavlina.com/forums/personal-effectiveness/4984-school-phenomenal-memory-16.html

You start with memorizing (html) say it 3 times
then (16.html)
till You finish the whole example.

This is your back up.

^^, free info which normally would have cost as much as 300 bucks, more or less. hahaha
