SMOG Readability Test

The SMOG (Simple Measure of Gobbledygook) readability test estimates the level of education someone needs in order to understand a piece of writing.

This short version of the SMOG test is for materials containing more or less than 30 sentences, and provides a chart linking the amount of time it takes to understand the piece of writing to the reaader’s level of education.
