Can speed reading help with test prep?
Absolutely. Standardized tests like the SAT, ACT, GRE, and MCAT all include time-pressured reading sections. Speed reading training improves both speed and comprehension (Breznitz, 1997), giving students more time to analyze passages and answer questions. Research shows 15-30% improvement in reading speed for students with proper training.
