difficulty level
The measure or level of how difficult or demanding a task, game, test, or activity is.
Bei diesem Videospiel kann man den Schwierigkeitsgrad zwischen 'leicht', 'mittel' und 'schwer' wählen.
In this video game, you can choose the difficulty level between 'easy', 'medium', and 'hard'.
This word is composed of three parts: 'Schwierigkeit' (difficulty), the linking -s, and 'Grad' (degree/level). So it literally means 'the degree of difficulty' and can be easily derived that way.
Der hohe Schwierigkeitsgrad des Spiels ist eine echte Herausforderung.
The high difficulty level of the game is a real challenge.
In connection with the difficulty level, verbs are often used that describe a change or setting. Typical ones are: 'den Schwierigkeitsgrad einstellen' (to set the difficulty level), 'wählen' (to choose), 'erhöhen' (to increase), or 'senken' (to lower).
Du kannst den Schwierigkeitsgrad jederzeit im Menü anpassen.

To describe the level, 'Schwierigkeitsgrad' (difficulty level) is often combined with adjectives such as 'hoch' (high), 'niedrig' (low), 'mittel' (medium), 'leicht' (easy), or 'schwer' (hard).

'das Niveau' and 'der Schwierigkeitsgrad' can both describe a level, for example in a course, test, or game. But 'Schwierigkeitsgrad' says more specifically how difficult something is. 'Niveau' is broader: it can also describe quality, ability, or standards. Learners may confuse the words because you often hear both in the context of exams. A simple guide is: if you are asking 'How difficult is it?', 'Schwierigkeitsgrad' fits. If you are talking about the general level or quality, 'Niveau' fits.
Bei der Prüfung steigt der Schwierigkeitsgrad von Aufgabe zu Aufgabe.
