Numerical relevants

It would be useful to have the values of which score means what in terms of reading level (eg. scores of x-y means a 6th grade reading level) Got to this page from Google Docs - which gives this score (along with a few others) for any document you write. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.206.33.69 (talk • contribs) 17:21, 23 September 2007

It would be useful to give some sort of age guidance too. I suspect the majority of the world did not go to a U.S. grade school, and probably haven't a clue what 8th grade means... -Nveitch —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nveitch (talk • contribs) 01:29, 29 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added correspondence between grade and age as per Nveitch's request. 71.175.125.151 (talk) 15:34, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I cleaned up the paragraph attempting to relate ages to level. It contained sentences that made no sense. I would like a reference however for the level. Promelior (talk) 05:55, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ARI of this page

While calculating the ARI using two online tools[1][2], I noticed that both of these tests regarded the periods in 'U.S.' as full stops. With the abbreviation appearing four times, a score of 7 rather than 14 is produced. I suspect this is poor coding on the part of the implementers, rather than the test itself. I stripped the periods to ensure that other readers will obtain similar results. — Nahum Reduta [talk|contribs] 04:22, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

btw, the same tests give my above entry an ARI of 8.68 and 8.30 respectively, again with the periods stripped from 'U.S.' — Nahum Reduta [talk|contribs] 04:23, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
