Mar 24, 2010 #2 B Bob I Guest It's strictly math, so you could work up most any score you desire, see below for explanation. Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level test This test rates text on a U.S. school grade level. For example, a score of 8.0 means that an eighth grader can understand the document. For most documents, aim for a score of approximately 7.0 to 8.0. The formula for the Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level score is: (.39 x ASL) + (11.8 x ASW) – 15.59 where: ASL = average sentence length (the number of words divided by the number of sentences) ASW = average number of syllables per word (the number of syllables divided by the number of words) http://office.microsoft.com/client/...&rt=2&ns=WINWORD&lcid=1033&pid=CH101512471033 rsanda wrote: > In some pages it says the highest Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level is 12 but I got > 12.6.
