Default Flesch-Kincaid Readability

:?

I am doing a lot of academic writing and want to know how I can test my work on a Flesch-kinkaid readability scale so that I can eventually improve. Any suggestions?

Hello! Welcome to the forum!

I did a quick search on a hunch that I might be able to find something online, and I did. :D

Take a look here:

http://www.aellalei.com/resources/sample.html

It's a writing sample analyser where you can paste in examples of your own work and get it analysed to show:
  • The Flesch Reading Ease Scale
    The Fog Scale
    The Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level
Of course, if you have any more questions, just ask here and we'll be happy to help.

Regards,

EDIT:
We now have our own text analyser available here: http://www.usingenglish.com/resource...statistics.php
An advanced text analyser is available to members that includes the above readability tests (and much more) here: http://www.usingenglish.com/members/text-analysis/
