Title: What Speed do you Read?
Post by: Warph on June 01, 2012, 10:50:37 PM

Help to train your brain to absorb information faster.

You'd be amazed at how much time speed reading can save, especially if you're a student. One of the secrets is to read groups of words instead of one word at a time.

Staples has a quick, fun reading speed test on its website. Just read the provided text as fast as you can, and then answer 3 comprehension questions after.

You'll receive your words-per-minute score, and you'll see where you rank compared to executives, college professors and speed readers. Best of all, it will extrapolate how long it would take you to read famous works of literature.

207 words per minute, but I read it twice knowing there was going to be a test!
