It's a timed test, and completing it will tell you how many words per minute you read, and also what how much faster/slower you read compared to the average reader.
DO NOT SKIM - read as you would normally. It's interesting how different the two approaches to reading can feel...
I know I normally skim a lot when I read, but I still managed 370 words per minute, which is (not to brag!) 48% faster than the average reader. It's got to be exhausting to maintain that speed! I'd like to see what speed I'd read at over say, 4-5 pages or a whole chapter.
How did you do?
Thank for checking in, by the way. I know it's been two weeks since my last weekly *ahem* post. Have a fantastic week!
