Good news! A free speed reading mini-course will be given out on completion of this new test, which is an online reading comprehension test.

This reading comprehension test works together with the reading speed test previously launched. Now you can not only measure your reading speed, but also check how accurate the reading speed is measured by checking your understanding on the article in the reading speed test. Feel free to try it out here after trying the reading speed test: Reading Comprehension Test

From my own experience with Speed Reader-X, the online speed reading course, here are some tips for you to get the best out of it:

• Learn Speed Reader-X together with Ultra Mind Improvement Studio (a new module not available on Amazon), to practice reading speed and comprehension in parallel. There should be a combo bonus for them.
• Each day, take one lesson from Speed Reader-X and one lesson from Ultra Mind Improvement Studio. Practically, they can all be finished in 30 days or less.
• Speed Reader-X consists of 10 lessons, while Ultra Mind Improvement Studio contains 11 lessons. Someone can go through all the lessons in one night, but I recommend to have one lesson from each product every 1 or 2 days, to have time for practice and let information soak in.
• Each lesson should be completed in a single sitting with no distractions. Don’t stop or pause lessons, just restart if needed.
• Practice anytime while reading a newspaper, magazine, or book
• Practice with interesting materials, either custom ones or chosen among the 17,000 bonus eBooks. This will speed up learning.
• Speed Reader-X is sold with household license, so to make the most out of what is spent, have all family members create their accounts and learn with their progress tracked
• Get it from this page Speed Reader-X, as the price is cheaper than that on amazon.com (or choose the Speed Reader-X CD version if you want to get the system in physical CD, which is the same system but you’ll need to wait for CD shipment and pay extra for the shipment fee)
• Use the online ticket system in case you get stumped during learning, they can normally give fast response

Hope these tips can help you out on your journey to becoming a faster and better reader. Below is a demonstration of the Online version I’ve found:
