Estimating Your Reading Time

Planning your study sessions effectively requires knowing how long it takes to cover your material. Reading speed varies significantly based on the complexity of the text and your familiarity with the subject.

How it's Calculated:

Time (min) = Total Words / Reading Speed (WPM)

Average Reading Speeds:

  • Slow/Technical: 150 WPM (for complex textbooks/research papers)
  • Average: 250 WPM (standard fiction or general articles)
  • Fast: 350 WPM (light reading or familiar topics)
