Grade Assignments in Three Steps

01

Upload Student Work and Set Your Criteria

Copy and paste text, upload PDFs, or import from Google Classroom. Define your grading rubric, point values, and any specific criteria you want the test grader to evaluate.

02

AI Analyzes and Scores Each Submission

The test grader reads every assignment against your rubric, evaluating content accuracy, argument strength, writing quality, and adherence to instructions. Scores are calculated based on your point allocation and criteria weightings.

03

Review, Adjust, and Export Results

Every score includes detailed feedback explaining the grade. Review suggested scores, make any adjustments based on your judgment, and export results to your gradebook or LMS.

04

Students Receive Clear Feedback

Each graded assignment includes specific comments tied to rubric categories, so students know exactly what they did well and where to improve. Feedback is clear, constructive, and saves you from writing the same comments repeatedly.

Everything You Need to Grade Faster

Custom Rubrics for Any Assignment Type

Build rubrics with multiple categories, point values, and performance levels. Weight categories differently based on assignment priorities—allocate more points to thesis development or less to grammar as needed.

Detailed Feedback on Every Submission

The test grader identifies specific strengths and weaknesses in student work, referencing examples from their writing. Comments explain why points were awarded or deducted, helping students understand their grade.

Plagiarism and AI Detection Built In

Automatically flag potential plagiarism or AI-generated content during the grading process. Detection results appear alongside grades, so you can address academic integrity issues immediately.

Grade Multiple Question Types

Score essays, short answer responses, paragraph explanations, and extended constructed responses. The system adapts to different response lengths and complexity levels.

Export to Any Gradebook or LMS

Download grades as CSV files compatible with Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, or any spreadsheet-based gradebook. Sync scores and feedback directly to your existing systems.

Adjustable Strictness and Tone

Set grading strictness to match assignment stakes—more lenient for drafts and practice work, stricter for final submissions. Adjust feedback tone from encouraging to formal based on your teaching style and student needs.

Reclaim Hours Every Week

10 min

Per class set

Grade 30 essays in 10 minutes instead of 5 hours. Review, adjust, and export in a fraction of the time.

4 hrs

Saved per week

Reclaimed time goes back into lesson planning, student support, or leaving school at a reasonable hour.

24h

Feedback turnaround

Students receive graded work within 24 hours instead of waiting a week or more.

More writing assigned

Assign more writing without increasing workload. More practice leads to better student outcomes.

Grade Class Sets in Minutes, Not Hours

Manual grading of 30 essays typically takes 3–5 hours depending on assignment length and rubric complexity. The test grader reduces that to 10–15 minutes for review and adjustments.

Faster Feedback Turnaround for Students

Students receive graded work within 24 hours instead of waiting a week or more. Faster feedback loops improve learning because students can apply corrections while the assignment is still fresh in their minds.

Reduce Grading Burnout and Mental Load

Reading the same types of errors across 30 papers drains mental energy. The test grader handles repetitive evaluation tasks, leaving you to focus on nuanced judgment calls and high-level feedback.

Assign More Writing Without Increasing Workload

Assign more writing tasks without creating unsustainable grading loads. More practice opportunities lead to better student writing, but only if grading volume is manageable.

I've really enjoyed using the GradeWithAI program. It saves me a ton of time, especially when I have class sizes of 35 or 36 students times five.

Fair, Objective Grading Every Time

No Grading Fatigue Bias

Human graders score differently at 3pm versus 9pm, on Monday versus Friday, and when reading the first paper versus the thirtieth. The test grader applies identical standards to every submission regardless of order or time of day.

Students receive fair evaluations unaffected by teacher fatigue, mood, or external distractions.

Rubric Applied to All Submissions

Manual grading sometimes drifts from rubric criteria as you progress through a stack of papers. The test grader evaluates every category exactly as defined, awarding points only when criteria are met.

Grading consistency protects you from student appeals and provides defensible scoring if grades are questioned.

Catch Details You Might Miss

The test grader reads every word of every submission with equal attention. Small but important elements—like a missing thesis statement or unsupported claim—are flagged consistently, even in well-written papers that might otherwise receive inflated scores.

Thoroughness improves grade accuracy and helps students address overlooked weaknesses.

You Review and Approve Every Grade

The test grader provides suggested scores and feedback, but you make the final call. Review recommendations, adjust scores based on context or student circumstances, and add personalized comments before finalizing grades.

Maintain full control and professional judgment while the system handles the time-intensive evaluation work.
