I think much of the time it is give and take. I'm in grade 12 and most of mine consistantly range around the 12 section, but I do every now and then go up to 13 or 13.5. How much of an educated read this machine can make, I think, is limited. It judges passive voice as a set back, far as I know, as it does with WperS.

Like you, I also tend to use long sentences and passive voice in my formal writing. After all these years, I'm surprised that the F-K formala is still used so much I deveoped the Flesch-Kincaid formula in 1974 and went on to lead the US Navy team which developed the style and grammer check which was the prototype on which the current MicroSoft Word system is based.
