How quickly do you read?

I do have to say that I was entirely distracted by the marketing inherent in the test. They stuffed so much suggestive advertising content into a narrative that you, the reader, were invested in paying close attention to. you were given an option to improve your performance and retest. They made sure you understood what they were trying to tell.

In short. Brilliant!

332 W.P.M. and 73% comprehension(8/11).

I got 300 something, but I'm doing like 3 things right now. I can't really pay attention. I'm usually a fast reader, but I have poor reading comprehension, so it doesn't really matter.

286 words per minute
64% comprehension(7 questions correct)

But:

• It wasn't a subject I was interested in.
• I was in a room with a whirring fan.
• There was someone talking loudly in the room next to this room.

My reading comprehension improves if I care about the subject and if I am in a quiet location. I don't know how much it improves, but noise is very distracting and I have a lot of trouble focusing on something I don't care about.

And after reviewing the questions, I counted the number I had answered using my memory of the article, and it was only two. I answered the rest of the questions by eliminating the answers which seemed wrong and choosing the answer which seemed most reasonable.

1195wpm.

9/11 correct on the comphrension test.

I eventually realized that the "race car driver" was just misdirection. Assuming that a race car driver didn't speak any faster than anybody else, the question was just asking how fast a normal person could speak. That doesn't really seem to be a fair test of reading comprehension, though.

Good golly

138 WPM, 9 of 11 correct

I have dyslexia. I had thought I had at least caught up with most people in terms of reading speed. I guess I was wrong.

120 WPM, 9/11

I only practice English, my native language is Hungarian.

Well then, congratulations!

My speed was 174 and with 91% comprehension, 10/11 I missed the race care driver question. And like other have said the wording messed me up and the text was boring.

I've always been good at reading, mainly remembering what I read.

I can read a little faster or skim when reading but I made a point to read as close to casually as I would most things I read(unless their boring/busywork).

486 wpm and 10/11 on the comprehension test.

878 wpm and 9/11

I can do better than that because I still have trouble with re-reading stuff. I don't usually read that quickly though unless I'm skim-reading or reading something just for specific information.

384 wpm on the reading test, and 11/11 on the comprehension test.

Thank You!

I would perform in the range 200-300 WPM and same comprehension in comparison. The fact that translation makes me focus better counteracts the handicap of translating. This text may seem boring, but for me it remains a challenge.

146 WPM 100% comprehension

I could probably read faster if the text was better written. My mind will reorganize the sentence as I read it, this process gets allot worse if the text is badly written.

People get quite amused if i read aloud, because what i say can be very different from what is written, although i don't realize or control the process. I added a character to Othello once without realizing it, when we had to read it in high school, the rest of the class found this hilarious.
