In prepping for the GRE, I've noticed that the reading section bogs my reading down considerably. I know that the picked material is wordy and extremely dry which hinders flow but lately I've become entrapped in this idea that maybe I'm just a slow reader.
I did not find any scientific research that corroborated Staples' 300 WPM, which came from a website trying sell speed reading tips based on their linked sources at the bottom of the page. I did find one study that found reading speeds within the English language to be 228 +/- 30 words per minute. Just wondering what speeds you guys are reaching.
Here's the test: https://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/marketing/technology-research-centers/ereaders/speed-reader/
