Reading Comprehension Test Result
Your reading comprehension score will be shown above after you finish the Reading Comprehension and Memory Test.
This reading comprehension test was designed such that it should not be difficult to score at least 90% if you read with your normal speed and answer the above questions carefully. If you do not reach this comprehension score, it means your reading speed just measured is higher than your actual speed. Otherwise the measured reading speed should be quite accurate.

It’s really a useful course for non-English speaker like me. Internet Ages opens the information doors to us, a plenty of latest information from worldwide flying towards me everyday. Speed reading can help me keep updating on such fast moving high tech generation. When I experience the free mini course, I found it is not only teach how to speed up reading like other software, but also teach how to improve in comprehension and memory. A very useful technique! I think I’ll try the full course very soon.
It’s quite funny test.. for a non-native speaker like me, the requirement is quite high so I am not up to the lowest standard yet. i’ll try the mini-course, thanks
I like your way to improve reading skills.I got 50% from the test.but i ll try to do my best.My reading speed score is 140 per min.I know it is not all that good.
I score better than I expected. hehe.
The test is quite useful. I’m thinking may be I really need to upgrade my reading speed and it seems not so difficult to learn it online.
Interesting… after finished the test, makes me more curious how to speed my reading, I’ve joined the mini-course.

“Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you”
thank you very very much! I’m into radio and the test opened up my eyes. I have some work to do!
I found this test surprising. I had no idea how fast or slow I normally read and my comprehension was only 60%. I’m sure that’s because I skip over important points. So now I want to learn how to speed read correctly so I retain the relevant information. I’m sure this will help with my studies too :)
This is excellent test. I got score better than I expected.
This kind of test is useful to every one. Thank you.
oh my god it is a good website thanks
really good. I will share this
This is a useful tool, thanks.
After taking the test, I realize I need alot of help. I am currently taking an LVN course, and there is alot of reading involved. I feel this mini course will help me. This sounds like a great learning tool, which is what I was looking for.
This is a useful tool. The comprehension exercise after the reading was helpful in checking the balance between my speed and comprehension.
I think it’s a good method of testing the speed of reading
looking forward to take your course to improve my reading skills .
Thanks
167 wpm and 80%
wow poor scores…
I found this very useful. It is good to have a good reading speed along with retaining all the information read.
254 wpm and 60% comprehension test, not bad for a student right?….
This seems to be a good way to learn speed reading.
I got 80%, not bad.
It’s undoubtedly an invaluable process to help the learners, who get startled every now and then only because of reading, paving a way towards the world of confidence!
477wpm with 90% comprehension score… I’m a junior in High School
I got 510 wpm. Not bad, I think.
I thought I would do better. I had 271wpm, with only 60% understanding. I thought I was much better than that. So I can see I need a lot of help in this area.
132 wpm 50% I suck
I got 202 wpm witch is pretty slow but al least my comprehension rate was 90 %.
610 wpm but only 60% comprehension. I wonder how I got through all those Harry Potter books in two days ;)
really essential
534 wpm and a 70% comprehension on the test. Only in high school.
I scored 1253 words per minute and got a 70% comprehension…so ill take it that if i were to recieve a 90% my words per minute would be like 900 or so. HAHA i skim read..it works.
651 wpm, and a “70% ” on the test…because my mouse repeatedly clicked without me telling it to. -.- According to a program my high school used, my average was 800 wpm…clearly I need to get my reading back into shape.
wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. this test is like purple unicorns man! LOVEEE THISS! <3
…nice website!
Thanks for the site and thank you for teachers who helped me to enter the site
I’m home-schooling my daughter, (8th grade) her, “Of Places”, Literature (A Beka Book)has a, “Check Your Speed”, at the end of each story…her speed is not always good but her comprehension is always GREAT! I researched Speed Reading, found your site, tried it out for myself, I read, 277 WPM, 50% Comprehension, I guess not too bad considering I’m 41 and haven’t been in school since 2002, where I completed several Career Enhancement Classes. I can’t wait for my daughter to try your Reading & Comprehension Test. I think your site will help us both improve on our reading and comprehension skills.
Thanks for the speed reading it will bring a really good help to slow readers and also to their skills to grow faster..
This is really important for all human beings who wants to come up in their life i mean in their career….
Good day! I just wish to give a huge thumbs up for the nice data you might have right here on this post. I will be sharing this page to my friends.
I am a teacher of English in a junior high school and have taught for about 15 years. I thought I could do well enough in the test, but to my surprise and disappointment, neither my reading speed nor comprehension is satisfying. Thanks to your test, I know clearly about my weakness in reading. I will have to practice more to improve myself.
