Speed Read

Normally I wouldn't lower myself to posting one of these things, but I sometimes like to think of you people as subjects for my own personal research

My result:

You read between 250 - 300 words per minute. Above-average reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.

I over-analysed the words.
To be honest I thought I would've been below-average_to_average reading speed as I take my time.

I think I can read faster on paper than I can on a screen.

100-150.
Basic reading ability.

I know I read NEW material (and absorb new ideas) VERY slowly and reading off CRT's kills me. Prefer paper or TFT.

I found my eyes were starting to go out of focus near the end ... I've always found it harder to read off as screen than off paper!

Meaningless but interesting.

250 - 300

Always have to slow myself down when reading to actually comprehend it.

Does anyone remember the ads that used to be on tv late at night, with a little fat fella sitting in front of an "interviewer" trying to sell his speed reading system?

100-150.

Nyeh. It just means I get more value for money out of a book than you speed reading freaks.

That seems about right although I think that had it been about 2-3 months ago I would have been alot faster as I was reading books and in school studying for the LC.

I'm a fairly slow reader mind, I always take meh time.

p.pete

150 - 200. I guess that confirms what I already knew about my reading ability.

Anyone recommend any books / sites / courses / techniques for improving reading speed?

You read between 650 - 700 words per minute. Extremely efficient reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.

I've always known I could read fast, I have a weird method. I read the sentance, move onto the next, and then skim throught the previous sentance after I have read the last. I catch every word this way.

How does it work, I dunno,
