26% faster than average. Is that good ? Got 1 question wrong. I have always been a fast reader but whether it sinks in is another matter

EvianBaby

OK, now I've read all the other answers I'm not at all impressed with my paltry 10% now. Infact I feel rather dumb.

ummmm

31% faster.

EvianBaby

Oh, it reckons I could read the Bible in 47 hours. That's my weekend planned then!

TheOtherHalf

Evian, thats providing you die of boredom first

Mine was War of the Worlds, which I read 46% faster than the national average, and all questions correct. I wouldn't want to read the rest of it. Alice in Wonderland is more my cup of tea.

TheOtherHalf

sorry Evian, I meant DONT die of boredom first. Obviously my reading is better than my typing. Perhaps I should read everything through before I submit in future

joggybear

got just under college graduate, but 2 out 3 questions, War of the worlds clip

Frank97

Three correct answers, :-) but I'm average speed. :-( Sounds about right!

1% faster or 86% faster when I knew I would have to answer questions and scroll down the page I can only improve ..perhaps

boxtops, Barmaid is giving away trade secrets !LOL It's common for lawyers to experience 'overnight' instructions.

But just about the first thing lawyers learn in articles or as pupil barristers is how to read a file or brief. The seniors seem to have control of it in twenty minutes, however big it is, when juniors have just reached page forty, and probably haven't worked out what they're being asked. They learn what to look for, what it is being asked, and then where to find the key statements or letters, and then go on. They'll skim over the rest of it, just identifying the nature and relevance of most of the documents.

But , for all that, the lawyer does read quickly. And 'last minute' instructions are the bane of advocates' lives, but inevitable because the original advocate concerned may be unavoidably occupied in another court, or an application may itself be an emergency one.
