<p>I’m still pwning. This test is very accurate. :D</p>
<p>Yeah, the passage is incredibly boring…</p>
<p>I think it would be better to correlate speed with the amount of reading one does outside of school.</p>
<p>440 wpm, 73%</p>
<p>Though comprehension is probably less, since I’m good at multiple choice and guessed correctly a couple of answers.</p>
<p>Thing is, I did worse than most people here, but I got an 800 V second time I took the SAT. But see, though I read the passage, I also go back and find the answer. And I’m really good at skimming through and finding answers quickly. Plus, there are a lot of factors that affect my speed or my comprehension. How interesting the passage is, what it’s about, how much detail I need to know, whether or not I can make notes in the sides, what the difficulty level of the reading is, how dense (full of facts and details) the information in the passage is, and more all affect those two things. Plus, in readings like this one, I tend to read for the main idea, which is usually enough for a reading like that (hence, why I got only a 73% comprehension which should be less). If I need to know specific details, I can go back and look, or I spend time memorizing them more long term for a test. Short term memory on specific facts is usually pointless.</p>
<p>857 wpm, 91% comprehension</p>
<p>323 wpm, 100% comprehension. 490 (49 on PSAT) projected CR score 
.</p>
<p>The only way reading speed would relate to the CR of the SAT, is because faster readers can finish passages quicker, thus giving them more time to answer the questions.</p>
<p>
yeah. once I realized that I was able to get most of the questions just going from that one fact.</p>
<p>Very true. Any idiot with a mouse could have outsmarted that sales pitch.</p>
<p>It was a sales pitch? Really? ;)</p>
<p>Actually, I guessed that it was before even reading it. In my life, almost every time I’ve heard someone mention speed reading, it was in the context of a sales pitch. Not every mention, but most. So logically, this was probably one as well. To me, speed reading could be helpful, but those sales pitches way overrate it.</p>
<p>“I don’t even read the PSAT or SAT passages, I just go back to find the answer after reading the question.”</p>
<p>Hahahahaha I do that too! Always have. It’s actually quicker, at least for me. Because you don’t have to read the irrelevant bits.</p>
<p>it doesn’t work as well for the “general purpose,” etc. questions though.</p>
<p>Except those are often either obvious or subjective enough that I just make them up anyway. Also you can just skim.</p>
<p>…Maybe I’m just secretly obscenely lazy. And by secretly I mean not secretly at all.</p>
<p>How did you find this website? Hehe. It is kind of random.</p>
<p>They did NOT pay me to do this! :)</p>
<p>"233 wpm</p>
<p>91% comprehension</p>
<p>yea, im slow."</p>
<p>610 CR (i guess it does correlate! haha)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Haha. Hey, it is pretty interesting, even if its not that accurate!</p>
<p>I always read the PSAT/SAT passages…some of the most interesting things I’ve ever read have come from standardized tests. I figure, I pay big bucks for these tests – might as well get some pleasure out of them. (Time’s not a concern for me on anything multiple-choice, so I suppose that helps.)</p>
<p>I agree with fizix, SAT’s had some very interesting passages and poems. Once I even memorized the name of a particular poem and looked it up later on.</p>
<p>are you serious? you’re all crazy! the SAT passages are soo boring. even the one that was from a book I really liked was probably the worst passage in the book…</p>
<p>I got 605 wpm and 100% comprehension…but I had a lucky guess on the race car one. It confused me for some reason. My reading on the ACT was 34. I can’t remember my SAT one.</p>
