Anecdata: I know a lot of well educated people who don't read. At all.
What reading level would you expect for someone who got a degree in their early twenties then didn't read anything more complicated than People magazine for decades after.

Level 3 means that someone can consistently read and comprehend the full meaning of college-level texts. In the US, one does not need to read at this level to graduate from college (or even many grad schools). There are many people in the world who are smart and/or very knowledgeable who don't consistently read and comprehend at level 3 across the range of topics covered in a typical college curriculum.
