Measure your Reading Efficiency


Ever wondered what kind of a reader you are - an efficient or an inefficient one?

If you notice I am not using the terms 'fast' or 'slow' because I could glance through a 1000 word passage in 1 minute but it won't be of much use if I could not comprehend anything in that time.

Thus Reading Efficiency = Reading Speed (wpm) x Comprehension Rate

For example, if your reading speed is 300 words per minute (wpm) and your comprehension rate is 70% than your overall Reading Efficiency is = 300 x 70/100 = 210 efficient words per minute.
