If I read at the pace I like to go normally, it turns out that is 54% of the national average. But that way I pictures in my head to go with it. If I go uncomfortably fast (but still ok to answer the questions I suppose), I top out exactly average, but the visuals are cack :(

I shall henceforth return to retard speeds.

You read 441 words per minute.
That makes you 76% faster than the national average.

my reading in english is quite slow, as I struggle to understand plots in books if I am not aware of them beforehand. Was tested on Alice so was fairly straightforward.

478.

That doesn't seem right to me, I probably read and digest a good book much slower than that.

I've always been slow at reading. Not because I struggle to read but whgen I read I almost vocalise each word in my head and read at the same speed I would read aloud to someone.

286 here

I have the same issue as you - in order to read a text, I internally say it to myself. This made university a struggle

Do most people not do that? If I could think of a witty way to insert the pie clause I would create a poll.
