70-80 Fairly Easy (7th-8th grade)
60-70 Standard (9th-10th grade)

Ideal Scores for Job Applications

  • Resumes: Flesch 70-80, Fog 8-10
  • Cover Letters: Flesch 60-70, Fog 10-12
  • Technical Documents: Flesch 50-60, Fog 12-15

Note: Some complexity is expected in professional documents, but extremely high scores may indicate your writing is too dense.
