Reading Speed Assessment

How Fast Do You Read—And Is It Holding You Back?

Most high school students and adults read between 150 and 300 words per minute, depending on the material. But on high-stakes admissions tests, that pace may not be enough.

The more time you spend reading, the less time you have to think critically and answer questions—and it’s your answers that determine your score.

This quick diagnostic tool will show you whether improving your reading speed could give you the edge you need to boost your performance and test score.

Learning Style Evaluator

Research indicates that we prefer to learn, process, and retain new information through different ways, rather than sticking to one. We learn and retain more information when we use a variety of study methods. The four main methods of learning are: seeing, hearing, reading/writing, or doing. Typically, we each learn best from a unique combination of these methods. What type of learner are you? By discovering which study method you prefer, and how you prefer to take in and work with information, you can optimize your study in a format that you like best. (PS, you might have multiple ways of learning and that is okay, too.)
