How Many Words-Per-Minute Do You Read?

How Many Words-Per-Minute Do You Read?

This is what I got: "You read between 550 - 600 words per minute. Highly efficient reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read." Check it out! I was a bit slower than normal due to the fact that it was a speech - I kind of wanted to hear it in my head & that takes longer... Non-fiction would be about this speed too, but definitely slower if I was underlining as I go. It is a bit off as you must also scroll the page during the test & I would go faster for fiction, but pretty interesting!
