I scored 300-400 on both tests, but I noticed that I was carefully reading every word, which is not usually the way I read fiction (or even technical documents). I can only assume that knowing I was being measured was making me read differently.
I also felt that the comprehension test was somewhat bogus. Whether you remember specific figures from a paragraph is not the same thing as understanding the meaning or content of the paragraph. In fact, when reading normally, I usually skim the numbers to get a sense of the argument, but I avoid reading them carefully enough to remember them, since that would slow me down too much.
