Did you take the comprehension test?

Ziona · **Tue May 02, 2006 9:55 pm**

yea... 85% I think.

Theresa · **Tue May 02, 2006 9:57 pm**

I got 461 wpm/100% comprehension.

400 wpm, auditory reader.

So I guess I'm in that range.

Ziona · **Tue May 02, 2006 9:59 pm**

My problem is comprehension alot of the time. I read it but forget almost instantly.

Heh, I read nearly every line twice. I don't know why, I'm always double checking myself.

Hmmm.. haven't read so much lately and well.. it is in English so it's slightly harder for me to understand... But still, this is not good.

I think I was rushing to see how fast I could read and it made me forget stuff. I remembered all the stuff from the beginning but couldn't remember anything towards the end.

Slightly above average, but I think I can do better

Good reader. I guess my love of reading has paid off.

ACDC Girl · **Wed May 03, 2006 6:25 pm**

It'd be really cool if the human eye could even move that fast.

No i didn't cheat, i promise.

Okay..I was feeling dumb after the last time I tried...listening to the TV and my mother talking while doing it wasn't exactly beneficial...so redo at 1310, probably also helps that it was a second through but rounded down is still okay. I was supprised the first time because people always comment on how fast I read....good to know that I shouldn't be tritasking when I want to finish my assigned reading the fastest!

Sam Kenobi · **Fri Dec 29, 2006 5:04 am**

251 wpm an 91%

This test is for *beep*, what does it matter how fast someone reads? What kind of intelligence factor is that and why does it matter? This is pissing me off, Gladys. Why did you post this? Reading speed has nothing to do with anything, as long as you read and comprehend.

I have no idea. I read faster in Dutch than I do in English, so I don't know.

And I don't feel like taking the test now, I'll maybe do it later. I read pretty fast, especially Harry Potter books.
