My base score is 745. I didn’t do the improvement, might do later.
Im sure I could go faster but I do read faster than most people I know. My law school classmates are envious.

397 to 390.
I read more carefully the second time thinking they would change the type of questions around so people couldn’t just skim for basics.
Also I can only read out of one eye so probably the peripheral reading and larger group reading skills are not available to me.
I went back and tried the first reading again to see if I got the same results as you. I glanced at the words just long enough to make sure that it was the same paragraph (so I could get all the answers right). I got a 1000. :dubious:
Doing the same thing with the second test gives a score of 18560.
I think this test is bullshit. It is set up to give a better score the second time when if the times are the same.
488 to 489, of course I’ve been drinking so maybe it doesn’t count
610 - 731.
Interesting how so many people got more than 1000 – when I went and clicked the spacebar as soon as the info came up (after already knowing the answers – my original score was 325, not bad for being dyslexic and scitopic), no matter how quickly I clicked the spacebar, the highest it showed was 1000. I’m just saying…
Heh…now I notice that others have noticed this, too…just sayin’
695 to start, will do the exercise later and let you know.
984 and 1028, but I was really skimming.
I think if you try to cheat it and click immediately, it will just give you a score of 1000. Try waiting a second.
414 to 414…At least I wasn’t damaged by it…
I went from 1287 wpm to 1460 wpm. I think I’ll keep my money-I have enough trouble carrying home books from the library as it is.
I went from 704 to 707, and got all the questions right in the first and second paragraphs.
I just tried doing what Pravnick recommended. If I cheat and click through immediately, it gives me a straight 1000 wpm score, but if I just skim through very fast it gave me a score of 1148 or something. Maybe it does just give you 1000 if you cheat.
As for my own score, it dropped from like 400 to 325 or so. I was totally thrown off by the typos in the second paragraph and had to re-read some of the lines.
