447 :) That's cool, I've always wondered how fast I could read. It makes me wonder if I can read faster than that, because I was watching a thing on how to speed-read and I've tried it since, and can do it, but don't like to, because I feel like it's too fast!

I did it a second time and scored higher. Try it and let me know if you do, too! :) (I think it's partially becaue I wasn't trying to comprehend as much, because I was already familiar with it.)

I will try it again tomorrow when I'm not tired and see if I can do it better. :) So I'm about 1/2 as fast as Michelle. :)
I want to learn how to speed read so I can take college courses and excell, how cool!!!

I am sadly out of practice...I can however scan read where I skip chunks and find only the most important parts of an article... :) Also, when I have read a chapter for a class adn go back over it, I just basically have to glance at various locations and remember what it talked about. I am slower the first time through...

I'm not posting mine - it's pathetic - but it said to read at your normal pace, so I did - I'm a slow reader! :(

I had 256, but I'm sort of ADD lol. I think if I were more interested in what they had written, I would have been able to focus a little better.
