Does anyone know what the Beats Per Minute are for the SpeedReading2000 drills? I have a metronome and just wanted to see if I could do it. Also, do you go forward one line and backward the next? I'm pretty sure you do but I can't remember.

My subvocalization speed is 350 wpm and my relaxed/forward-only/with-finger/not-paying attention-to-speed speed is 880 wpm. Not too impressive but that's with 100% comp of every word and it's a pleasure speed.

Thanks in advance !

Yeah but that's READING EVERY WORD AND A HUGE WASTE OF TIME. I don't want to read like that all the time, it's exhausting. PR doesn't think in wpm it thinks in purposes. If I speedread a 300 page book it will take me close to an hour. However I can preview for 3 minutes and realize I don't need the book. Even if I do I can get the core concepts in 15 minutes and then SR/Rapid Read and be done in 1/2 hour and not be tired. Most people quit speedreading because it is exhausting to do. Moving your hands like that or your eyes like that or both isn't fun. The drills however are fun to do and some of the books have tests.
