PQRST is Preview Question Review Summarize Test

I see it expanded here http://www.duck9.com/blog/nfl-athletes-fico-score/how-does-larry-chiang-study-so-gud/

On the foundation of PQRST, there is a PQRST springboard where you extrapolate. PQRST relies to previewing and studying the syllabus. Existing writings, teachings and agenda. Taking those and mastering them so well allows you to then extrapolate. For example, Mark Gurman studied random public filings, snippets of mentions and apple history to extrapolate what syllabus and tech agenda might be next. He took ENGR 145 summer 2011.

Another example of PQRST-springboarding is the Fifth Epiphany. It’s a sequel to “4 Steps to the Epiphany” http://bit.ly/vc0311b

Here is another case of PQRST springboarding: “David and Goliath (and Startups)” http://bit.ly/vc0311e

SxSW can be extrapolated for 2015 using PQRST extrapolation http://bit.ly/vc0311a

The Traction Book can be springboarded.

Ok, let’s take a step back from the cray cray language and see the bigger picture via micro steps. Big picture: Books and sequel concepts of Geoffrey Moore “Crossing the Innovation Chasm” 1991 Inside the Tornado was the next book. {A couple books that did not do well} then “Escape Velocity” I extrapolated “Cross the Chasm from the Right” because the sequel of seminal tomes comes full circle
