Reading Speed Test

Read a short passage at your natural pace, then answer questions about it from memory. Your reading speed in words per minute is only half the score — comprehension is the other half, and your efficiency score multiplies the two together. That means skimming gets caught, and a genuine improvement in reading rate shows up honestly.

No personal best yet — finish a run to set one.

You'll read a short passage, then answer three questions about it from memory. Read at your natural pace — comprehension counts as much as speed.

How to Play

  1. 1.Press Start and read the passage once, at your natural pace.
  2. 2.Click “Done reading” the moment you finish — that sets your reading WPM.
  3. 3.Answer the comprehension questions from memory; the passage stays hidden.
  4. 4.Your efficiency score is reading WPM × comprehension, so skimming won't pay.
  5. 5.Try again with a fresh passage to push your personal best.
