It was "fun" (like a game), but not very interesting.
That's just an ad for their products, IMO
(http://www.readingsoft.com/))

I read some books at least 2 times quicker than others, it depends so much of the content, the difficulty of the language, the complexity of the ideas, ...

Just compare your "results" at reading a Shakespeare play and a daily-article of a newspaper...

>> No.6027114

>>6027096
yes, I believe they didn't read that part.

>>6027048
Depends on what you're reading.
If it some deep/complicated/petry material, no clue.

When it's a poor novel or just some news (<3 pages), I just read some part of the sentences, trying to pick the key-words.
It's sufficient to get the idea.

Do you sometimes try to listen to different conversation in the same time ? It looks to me like the same process : sometimes you're focusing because that's an important part, other times it's just blabla you can skip

350 wpm, 100%.

Felt like I was reading slow then. The text was easy enough to read that it felt like I could skip 80% of it and still get the gist, and I think the whole speedreading thing is just that, seeing the important information and skipping the context words that you intuitively grasp from the context of the text. This of course carries the risk of missing something important, but that's a matter of experience.

I really don't see how people can score 600+, that seems impossible, like typing 200+ wpm or something

>> No.6027140

>>6027133
Imagine the text in your first language.
You would surely try to read it faster than you do in your daily life. 600+ is just twice that your second language.

I dunno for you, but my wpm are terrible in my 2,3,4 languages.
I need to focus at every moment, even on simple sentences.
Meanwhile when I read novel in my first languages, I don't have the feeling to product an "effort". It's like riding a bike or driving a car. You don't think at what you're doing

Honestly this isn't the sort of thing you can improve with practice; I've been speed reading since the 2nd grade (everyone accused me of cheating, even the teacher)

I just had more important things to do than to spend time slowly reading with my stupid classmates so I would read that shit as soon as I could and then play pokemon.

I tried to score the best (I already take the test without cheating some time ago).

Pic related (no modification of the sauce, just quick clicking and right answering with 2 trials to figure out the correct answers)

But honestly, I'm skeptical about the comprehension test. Most of the answers are easily guessable without the text. Scoring under 50% seems difficult...

>>6027490
really, I don't understand how 18% is possible.
It's a test created by a company to demonstrate to you the merits and superiority of speed reading : you can infer most of the answers from that
