I'm 12% slower than the national average - I think that means USA average as it's a US site.

[HowardKennitby]

I got the same as an average college student.

[China Doll]

35% faster than the national average apparently.

[shooty]

31 seconds with three correct answers

[bibblebub]

133% faster than national average

[China Doll]

Oh... and I got an extract from Alice in Wonderland which I've read so I guess that probably help me answer the questions quicker.

[daffy654]

I went back and reread part of it so was quite slow.

When in France on a FISHING holiday I read five paperbacks in four days.......
Weather was pants:-(

[FredPuli43]

68 per cent above the national average, which doesn't say much for the national average. Seemed fairly straightforward. Now let's try an EU regulation, that'll have nobody understanding on two readings !

[China Doll]

I just got 127% faster than the national average, but again, on a book I know well.

[vodkancoke]

119% faster than the national average apparantly

[daffy654]

I used to read a lot and could easily go through a book a day, since getting my PC I don't read as often. My Kindle is gathering dust on top of my PC tower.

[Traci66]

74% faster. I read a lot and average two books per week.

[daffy654]

84% faster on a reading of a different piece of text.

[Kiki-frog]

87% faster than national average and I got all three questions right. Woohoo, get her!!! (But I am an editor, so I need to read quickly.) I think my extract was from War of the Worlds.

[FredPuli43]

Alice in Wonderland? Blimey, I got some story about someone down a well! I was expecting "What's that Skippy? Someone's trapped down a well?'

[Arksided]

56% slower than the national average, I am shocked. lol

[chaptazbru]

I passed !

[Kiki-frog]

LOL, I just got the extract from Alice, so I just went straight to the questions, which were easy-peasy. I'm now 984% faster.

[Old_Geezer]

There's the leisurely rate I normally read at, and the speed I can read if there's a need to do so.

[Barmaid]

677 wpm and 3 correct answers. Apparently 171% quicker than the national average. But I am used to having to read extraordinarly quickly.
