I understand standard notation, but I have to stare at the page for about 20 minutes, play it out, and memorize it. I cannot sight read at all.
My final for Music Theory 1 consisted of reading and playing some song, and I just had to sit down with it at home and memorize it. The teacher was impressed, but in reality it was simply because looking at the notes made me too dizzy to play.
However, I can read rythm and drum notation quite well. I wouldn't say by sight, but very close.
And of course tablature.
