Peter  Rogers
“Prereading is a game changer. It changed my life. Everyone is smarter when they have seen the material before. You will be too”
Peter Rogers, Straight A at Stanford and on to Harvard

Peter  Rogers
“The night before a biochemistry class, I read the lecture notes from last year. I look at the pictures in the book. I read some of the book.

Now, I've got the general concept. Sure...There's a couple of details to fill in and a few things to memorize. but that's no big deal. I've got the big picture and that's all I need.

Bring it on professor. I'm ready.


That's right.

The next day, I'm a goalie sitting in the front row.

Nothin gets past me...

My ability to comprehend a biochemistry lecture just went up from 30% to 95%.

I went on to score 780 out of a possible 800 on the medical school biochemistry boards exam (USMLE 1).

Given that the 99th percentile began around 690, this was one of the highest scores in the USA, perhaps the highest.”
Peter Rogers, Straight A at Stanford and on to Harvard
