Pretty good, considering I'm supposed to be dyslexic!

...taking an approach of wanting to get the comprehension score high as first priority. I've improved skim-reading enormously over recent years, so would have been interesting to also find out what would have happened reading much faster. But I guess I'll never know...

189 wpm.
Comprehension 8/11

I guess lovely, considering the curcumstance. They thought I read just fine in Gradeschool, because I read it outloud real well. They couldn't tell how my brain was working, and haveing problems with getting the text meaning. They also had no clue that auditory things screwed with that to top. I hated books as a kid, and faked it plenty. The frustration, and always seeing my mother dive into her fiction instead of play with us. Not the worse out of youth, but still... Bleh. Can't read her books in the slightest. I prefer online or library.

201 wpm and 9/11 correct. But then I have a convergence insufficiency (problem with my binocular vision) and even in glasses with a prism, need a book mark to keep my eyes on track. For this reason I prefer reading from books and not from my computer screen. One other symptom of convergence insufficiency is not remembering what was read...so all in all not too bad lol.
