Reading Speed Test

What is Reading Speed Test?

Reading Speed Test measures how fast you read by timing you on a passage and calculating your words per minute (WPM). Knowing your reading speed helps you estimate how long books, articles, and documents will take to finish.

How to use

1. Step 1 — Choose a difficulty level (easy, medium, or hard) to select an appropriate text passage.
2. Step 2 — Click Start and read the passage at your natural pace. Press Done when finished.
3. Step 3 — Answer a few comprehension questions to verify you actually read the text, then view your WPM score.

Result

A college student selects a medium-difficulty passage of 350 words. She reads it in 1 minute 24 seconds with 80% comprehension, scoring 250 WPM — above the average adult speed of 200-250 WPM.
