Midsummer days in early August fly right by. Two weeks had already past; it felt like a few hours of a mystical dream. Nothing extraordinary had ever occurred during my summer excursions. No treacherous sharks at the seashore alongside my cabana. No masked serial killers causing dreadful havoc at the amusement park. Nothing. But then I met my Aunt Christine...
Christine was strolling along the shore of a cafe near the beach where my acquaintances and I would unite and converse on some days. This was one of those occasions,however it was raining; my companions did not enjoy unseasonable weather and each had made an executive decision to unwind that day at their residences.

I'm in sixth grade. I wrote this and just by using big words got a grade level of 10!

Somehow mine scored Level 16 @ 29 comprehension. Pancakes.

Here's the excerpt I used:

Spoiler

For the next two weeks, I continued to cause distress to those whom I saw fit. Whenever I saw a couple getting along, or a child with a lollipop, or a university graduate with perplexingly amazing grades; I’d destroy it all. Though I had no grudge against the vast majority of my victims, they reminded me of the lifestyle I led and lost in a particularly gruesome way, and I would punish them for it. I gained satisfaction from doing this, albeit mediocre and short-lived; however, even if I gained nothing from the experience, it was part of my contract, and I must continue wreaking havoc if I wished to retain an existence.

Try typing in 'discombobulate' into it, you won't believe your eyes ha ha

First, I wish to give thanks to the OP of this thread. The link gave myself a sobering experience as a writer. I've received scores all the way from grade 5 to grade 29 (which is odd given that those perspective scores were taken from different stanzas of the same poem ) and Ease Scores that were all generally lying between 59 and 90.

Looks like I'll have to be practicing more.

I've been toying with this website ever since I made that last post and came upon something interesting.

I posted this poem:

Leap towards all.
Just don't fall.
Thousands call upon you, a dragon.
In reality it seems all you are is a band wagon.
One originally built from spite.
Yet now, full of might.
Come, come.

Witness the patriot.
Witness the sergeant.
Witness the emperor.
Witness it all.

A place that was built to burn.
Now standing upon the desert sands of eternity.
Laughs upon us all.
Don't you realize, it is you who caused the fall.

With all of those words in mind, I expected to get a rather lower score. I was given an 8 in Grade Level and a 49 in score. I decided to take out all of the periods within the poem. I didn't really have a reason, I just wanted to see what would happen. Once that happened I was given a 36 in Grade Level and a -24 in Reading Ease Score.

aww....My grade level was 6 and the ease score I got was 73... Is that alright? Grade 6 is horrible but is my ease score alright?

This was higher than I expected.

A grade of 12 with a score of 48 for my old but revised story... Interesting.
I tried a more recent story and got grade 16 with a score of 30... Interesting.
And a grade of 15 with a score of 38 for my recent novel... Very interesting.

Zohali, I would say that this does not really say anything about you writing skills, although the higher the grade you can achieve if you want to the better. Although one must also know, or at least should probably know, how to write for a smaller audience.

Wait... I posted and extract of The Call of Cthulhu and got a grade of -3 with a score of 121?! It's kidding! Ok, a smaller extract returned grade 16 with a score of 28.

So, I tried writing an advanced phrase:

To construct a viably operational metabolical system based on quantum mechanics would require immense intelligence.

And I got grade 22 with a score of -34...

I put this:
She drifted slowly through the sea,
holding the key to my heart,
and when she slowly sank that day,
it tore my world apart.

My ship rocked through the ocean,
a mystery of secrets and time,
slowly moving past the land,
the view perfectly sublime.


As she flowed past the liners,
the workers looked on in awe,
taking in the elegant grace
defying the most important law.

Yes! The law of gravity!
She looked as though she was flying!
Propelling through the calm waves,
producing a most beautiful thing.

And got a level 10 and 48

Oh, sweet,

I got a grade level of 11 and reading ease 55 and I am only 13

Thanks

I am disappointed Apparently I write at grade level 7... unless this is only how easy it would be for someone of that grade to read it? Then maybe that's a good thing, since I want my novel to be readable for tweens and teens. Hmm...

We're pretty sure the algorithm only uses sentence complexity and vocabulary to determine its scores.

My short stories usually end up within an 8th grade level, yet the essay I wrote for school was at a 13th grade level.
