dragonboy -

It's not accurate if you take it more than once a day or whenever it's still fresh in your memory for that matter.

Wish they had multiple speed tests to choose from so my numbers would be more accurate.

I'm thinking that the test wasn't very scientific at all. They should add more questions to the comprehension part, as well.

That was the second time I took it, because I didn't try the first time. But I waited 24 hours so it wasn't fresh in my memory from the first time. Meh. Accuracy stayed about the same, wpm is about double what it was the first time. Wish they had multiple speed tests to choose from so my numbers would be more accurate.

since your comprehension was 60%

I tend to forget things I have very little interest in. This may be normal, but I may also be stupid.

Was I actually supposed to try to read fast during the test?


Well, the test calculates your reading speed so if you read it normally it, that would have been your normal reading speed. If you had read it as fast as you can, that would have been your speed-reading speed. Then again, since your comprehension was 60% I wouldn't recommend reading any faster than you did or you would comprehend even less.

And 255 is pretty normal so don't stress.
