296/73

Thanks to Darren for his recent “Blog Tips” posts:

Take the Speed Reading Test Online.

With onscreen reading, it appears that I average 296wpm with 73% comprehension. This places me at a bit lower than “Good Reader” status (with both my speed and comprehension scores a lower than required: 300/80). I’m sure that my ratios would be different if this were a “hard-copy” test — which is one reason why I prefer to print out most of the Blogs that I read (and why I definitely print a hard-copy when proofing something that I have written). I know that I read too quickly when looking at a computer monitor. I also know that I comprehend much more when I read something on paper (but at a cost as my hard-copy reading speed is very slow).

Try it out for yourself. What do you score?
