How do I learn to read faster?

What is speed reading?

Speed reading is a collection of techniques that train your brain to process text more efficiently. This includes reducing eye movements, expanding your visual span, and minimizing subvocalization (inner speech).

How fast can I learn to read?

The average person reads at 200-250 words per minute (WPM). With training, most people can reach 400-600 WPM, and some achieve 800+ WPM while maintaining good comprehension.

Is speed reading free?

Yes! Our speed reading training app is completely free. No credit card required. Just sign up and start practicing immediately.

Does speed reading hurt comprehension?

Not when done correctly. Our training focuses on maintaining comprehension while increasing speed. Proper technique actually improves focus and retention.

Can speed reading help me pass the UKCAT / UCAT exam?

Absolutely. The UKCAT (UCAT) Verbal Reasoning section gives you only ~29 seconds per question including reading dense passages. Candidates who read at 400+ WPM consistently outperform those at average reading speeds. Speed reading is one of the most effective UKCAT preparation strategies, especially for medicine and dentistry applicants.

Is speed reading useful for medical school and dentistry?

Hugely. Medical and dental students face an estimated 30,000+ pages of reading material across their degree. Speed reading skills help you get through lecture notes, textbooks, research papers, and clinical guidelines much faster. Many practising doctors and dentists credit speed reading with their ability to stay current throughout their careers.
