I got 10/11 of the questions correct after reading and it says "You read at 761 words per minute. ", so not too bad I guess.
OTOH, I'm doing it while working, so eh ;p maybe it could be 1000!!!
I guess it's possible... I've always thought my books didn't last long enough ;p

I tend to think as long as you are enjoying what you are reading you're fine... speed tests/speed reading etc just gets you to the end faster, possibly while missing some of the "good stuff". If it's important enough to read, it's important enough to read well, no?
