Here's a thread with a couple of other tests:
http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=26491&PN=1&TPN=1 This one is pretty hard in my opinion: http://www.edition-deutsch.de/cgi-bin/ctest/ctest.pl I also remembered something I looked at quite a while back, the Flesch-Kincaid score, a readability index. You can find some for German on the Wikipedia at the bottom of the page: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbarkeitsindex For example on this one (http://www.it-agile.de/stil/eingabe.html) your texts got a 67 and 68. Which they describe as: "61 - 70 einfach &nb sp;Kochrezept, Weblog", so reasonably easy. On the plus side the first page of Der Prozess by Kafka got a 64. So how reliable this grader is, is questionable. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Thanks, that is pretty cool, never heard of it before. If you pick C2 and order by hardest, but don't set vocab/grammar it comes back with mainly Bild
articles, I guess it's a bug. Easiest grammar, vocab at 5% but it's the hardest text? 1 person has voted this message useful | |

You have the choice beetween vocab/grammar/Textschwierigkeit. If you don't choose vocab or grammar it's rates for textschwirigkeit. If you take grammar than you will have more texts from other newspapers with higher rates in grammar and vocab. 1 person has voted this message useful | |

vocab 5% means with a level of C2 you should be able to understand 5% of the vocabulary of this text, so it's not so easy.
