Find out if you are faster than the average reader.
The average reading speed for most adults is around 200 to 250 words per minute (WPM). College students usually read at about 300 WPM. With speed reading techniques, some people can reach 500+ WPM while maintaining good comprehension.
To get an accurate result, use our free online reading speed test. Simply read the passage provided, click "Done", and answer a few questions to ensure you understood the content. Our tool calculates your WPM automatically based on the text length and your time.
Speed without understanding is meaningless. That's why our speed reading test includes a comprehension check. A true reading proficiency score combines both your speed (WPM) and your accuracy percentage.
