How to Calculate Words Per Minute

1. Calculate the number of pages you read. Be exact--use decimals! (ex: 10.5 pages)

2. Find a "normal" page, and calculate the number of words per "normal" page. (ex: 310 words)

a. Average words per line x # of lines OR
b. Words on half page x 2

3. Multiply these numbers. (ex: 3255)

4. Divide the number by the minutes we read (ex: 21).

5. This number is your WPM--words per minute (ex: 163).
