Can do 550 according to readings soft. But I usually slow way down for dense/complicated text.

Is that not accurate?
It is not
How much did you have on average?
50-60 probably. Still takes a while while you're still learning how to read cases
What the..? Why would they tell 300-500? 50-60 seem like nothing.
It's just a completely different type of reading than you're thinking of. This is a bit of an extreme example, but look through this case and flag all the terms you're not familiar with. Then, imagine there's a chance you'll get grilled on very fine points in front of 100 people the next day. For a more modern example, go through the same exercise with this (skip the syllabus).
e. That being said, I think the amount of work needed to do well in law school is somewhat overstated.
