Have you taken any speed reading classes?

[jazz lady]

Have you taken any speed reading classes?

Nope, just a LOT of years of schooling, which I'm STILL doing, being an avid reader of just about anything I can get my hands on, an almost photographic memory at times and close to 100% comprehension if I concentrate hard enough. Yep, I'm a freak.

 

[GWguy]

I took a speed reading course many years ago, was up to 1000 wpm. Today, I have to re-read each line and sentence a couple of times to get it right...

 

[Retrodeb54]

Guess thats a fail?

[vraiblonde]

You read 488 words per minute.
That makes you 95% faster than the national average.
3/3

That was reading for speed, though. When I really read I sometimes go back over passages several times. If the language is particularly lovely or amusing, it can take me much longer to get through one page.

 

[Bay_Kat]

You read 1,054 words per minute.
That makes you 322% faster than the national average.

I read really fast.

 

[Dakota]

I am slow.

I didn't set the bar very high here you know.

You would have thought I read that page like I was in Kindergarten.

I did get all the answers right.

 

[Railroad]

Okay, 54% higher than the national average, but I missed one question. Consistent with my pee-poor attention to detail and short-term memory loss.

 

[Larry Gude]

186/23 secs 489/min, 3/3, 96%


"If you keep this pace up, you could read 1984 in 3 hours and 22 seconds"

Well, I am up to, oh, about 12 years on that one and still not finished. I can read fairly fast if it is something I enjoy and am interested in and stuff like 1984 is fingers on a chalkboard to me. But, seems I am well behind professors, executives and high level college students but, then again, I just woke up and haven't had a drop of coffee yet...

Neat test but, what do it mean!???
