You Didn't Pass
You have a free spirit. You love adventure; willing to step into the unknown and get lost. No wonder you find it hard to concentrate. You daydream, but observe everything, and view life as an opportunity for self-expression. So who cares if you don’t read the fine print?
 
You Passed!
You read with purpose, and “go to the movies" in your head. You subconsciously use a variety of strategies while reading, and even make inferences and connections. You question and wonder, and believe you’re in control of the reading process. Did we read you loud and clear?
 
You ACED It!
You are an involved, motivated learner. You give your complete attention to reading and look for meaning between the lines. You probably guess at words you’re not sure of and create mental images. You’re a real bookworm and we love it!
