Test de vitesse de lecture (MPM)

Ce que ça mesure

This test measures how fast you can read short sentences (your reading speed, in words per minute) and the smallest print you can still read at all (your reading acuity). Together they describe how comfortably you can read everyday text up close.

Comment ça marche

After you size a bank card to the screen and set a steady reading distance, the test shows one short, everyday-vocabulary sentence at a time, starting large and getting smaller in calibrated steps. You tap to reveal each sentence, read it aloud or silently, then tap when you're done — the engine times how long you took and works out your words per minute. As the print shrinks, reading slows and eventually becomes impossible; the smallest size you can still read is your reading acuity floor, expressed as a 20/xx value like a standard eye chart.

Conseils pour un résultat fiable

• 1Read the way you normally would — Pick aloud or silently and stick with it. Reading aloud is usually slower, so changing method between attempts makes results hard to compare.
• 2Don't rush for a high score — Read at your natural, comfortable pace. Skimming inflates your words per minute without reflecting real, accurate reading.
• 3Re-test under the same conditions — Same light, distance, and correction each time makes changes in speed or acuity meaningful rather than down to setup.
