    "You read between 400 - 450 words per minute. Well above average 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."

    edit... on the second one:
    I was surprised on that one. I guess they must adjust it based on difficulty? I didn't feel like I read as far...

    I'm no genius, but I do alright.

    You read between 300 - 350 words per minute. Above-average reading level. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.)

    You read between 650 - 700 words per minute. Extremely 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. 750-800ish on Test #2.

    I'm happy with that. After all, I'm trying to be a writer, not a reader, lol. Plus, I'm into quality, not quantity.
