Second selection is easier than the first. It's BS.

273 to 363... I did read slow enough to comprehend everything though. Also, the second passage was much easier, since it was written in a more contemporary english.

I have vision in only one eye, and an I.Q. of 129 (tested at Atlanta Medical) and I can only read 318 wam, with a post-test of 388.

Go me

430-650

683 > 903.

I don't think I got any faster. Just got bored going through all that crap and when the last reading thing came up, skimmed more then I did the first test.

593-690

now, 723-863 the 2nd time through. a few more times and i'll be reading entire books in minutes

Hmm, I know some of these things are supposed to work...but the first reading was with tons of commas and punctuation etc, then the second was much smoother.

I think any program that will work takes a lot more time to change how you read. So the program might actually work, but for the sample it looks like its just a gimmick.

yea i pretty much just got bored and stopped paying attention, also the second passage flowed much better, sentences weren't as broken and "textbookish"

which is why i went back to reread the first passage, and still had improved results

680 to 720. Meh.

I think it's kind of a combination of placebo effect, getting your eyes warmed up, and slightly easier 2nd passage than 1st. So you add all that up and almost everyone has decent "improvement."

*yawn* waiting for it to finish~

 

[SWScorch]

631 to 936

 

[bunker]

549 to 793

I've taken speed reading courses int he past...it's all about looking at the words and not actually reading them but still comprehending them.

316->598

I'm interested in this program, I've always read painfully slowly.
