Every standardized test is a speed-reading test! It’s a little known fact that can help you immensely whenever you take a standardized test—ACT, SAT, or even a driver’s license exam. Every standardized test is really a speed-reading test. Standardized tests don’t measure what you know as much as they measure how well you can apply logic and reason to different topics. When you can read the questions and test material more quickly, you get more time to think through the right answers. A standardized test measures how much time you give yourself to think, and if you can speed read, you get more time for thinking!

Speed Reading is Simply Efficient Reading Important News About Standardized Tests...
The primary issue with standardized tests (ACT, SAT, etc.) is not a lack of knowledge of the basic subject matter. It’s that all standardized tests are basically Reading Tests as much as they are content tests. The major problem is not the challenge of content knowledge, but the lack of time for the test-taker to efficiently read the material and answer the questions. Ask yourself, would you have a better chance at getting a higher score if you could read better and faster? Of course! Your newly learned reading skills will help you get a higher score. Why? You’ll have more time to read the materials and more time to find the answers to the questions.
