By AP course
07 guidesHow GradeWithAI applies every College Board rubric — AP Lang and AP Lit essays, APUSH and AP World DBQs, LEQs across all three AP histories, and AP Seminar IRR and IWA. Each guide breaks down the rubric and shows sample feedback.
AP Essay Grader
One AP essay grader for every rubric — AP Lang, AP Lit, APUSH DBQs and LEQs, AP World, AP Euro, AP Seminar. Each essay is scored against the current College Board rubric with sophistication and complexity points named, not buried in the total.
AP Language Grading
Score rhetorical analysis, argument, and synthesis essays against the current College Board AP Lang rubric. Thesis, evidence and commentary, and the sophistication point — each explained with line citations from the student's own essay.
AP Lit Grader
Score poetry analysis (FRQ 1), prose fiction analysis (FRQ 2), and literary argument (FRQ 3) essays against the current College Board AP Lit rubric. Thesis, evidence and commentary, and the sophistication point — each explained with line citations from the student's own essay.
AP US History Grading
Score APUSH essays against the College Board AP US History rubric in minutes. The AI checks thesis, contextualization, document use, HIPP sourcing, and complexity — then explains exactly why each rubric point was earned or missed, with line citations from the student's own essay.
AP World History Grading
Score AP World essays against the exact AP World History: Modern rubric in minutes. The AI checks thesis, contextualization, evidence, analysis, and complexity — and cites the line in the student's essay that earned (or cost) every rubric point.
LEQ Grader
Score AP US History, AP World, and AP Euro Long Essay Questions against the current 6-point College Board LEQ rubric. Thesis, contextualization, evidence, analysis and reasoning, and the complexity point — each explained with line citations from the student's own essay.
AP Seminar Grader
Score every AP Seminar performance task against the College Board rubric — Individual Research Reports (IRR), Individual Written Arguments (IWA), and Team Multimedia Presentation write-ups. Row-by-row feedback naming exactly where the student landed on each AP Seminar scoring row.
By assignment type
09 guidesHow GradeWithAI handles each assignment format. Essays graded on thesis, evidence, and analysis; tests blending MCQ with short-answer; math scored with partial credit for setup and execution; SAQs and FRQs on College Board short-response logic.
Essay Grading
Grade a full stack of essays against your rubric in minutes — not hours. Upload your rubric (or generate one from the prompt) and the AI scores thesis, evidence, organization, and mechanics with quoted line-level feedback. Every grade and comment is editable before anything reaches students.
Writing Grader
Not every writing assignment is a five-paragraph essay. Grade narratives, journals, short responses, reflections, letters, and lab write-ups against the rubric you already use — with quoted feedback from the student's own words and edits you can make before anything goes live.
Assignment Grader
One grader for every assignment you collect — essays, short answers, worksheets, projects, lab reports, reflections. Upload the work, pick the rubric, and the AI delivers rubric-aligned feedback you can edit before grades reach students.
Handwritten Assignment Grading
Snap a phone photo of the paper stack or drop in a PDF of scanned work. The AI transcribes every page — cursive, print, diagrams, worked math — then grades it against your rubric with line-level feedback. Every score and comment is editable before anything reaches students.
Project Grading
Projects come in pieces — a write-up, a slide deck, a video, a reflection, an artifact. GradeWithAI scores each component against your rubric, rolls them into one final grade, and writes feedback that names the specific criterion each score came from. Every grade is editable before anything reaches students.
Test Grading
Grade mixed-format tests — multiple choice, true/false, short answer, essay — in a single workflow. Bubble sheets scanned, constructed responses graded against your rubric, and AI-powered item analysis ready whenever you want to see which question to reteach.
Math Grading
GradeWithAI reads every step of student work — even handwritten — and grades it the way you would: full credit for the right path, partial credit when the setup is right, and targeted feedback at the exact line where the work broke down.
SAQ & Short Answer Grader
From AP short-answer questions to exit tickets and unit quizzes, grade constructed responses in bulk with semantic matching and per-question accuracy flags. Students who phrase things differently still get credit when both answers are right.
FRQ Grader
Score AP free-response questions against the College Board rubric for every AP course that uses FRQs — Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Statistics, Government, Psychology, Calculus, and more. Point-by-point feedback that names the exact rubric element the student earned or missed.
By subject
01 guideSubject-specific guides — what a good DBQ looks like at on-level versus pre-AP, or how a social-studies short response is scored differently from a literary analysis.

What to look for
What makes an AI grader worth using
Grades on your rubric
A general-purpose AI scoring model doesn’t know what your rubric rewards. GradeWithAI reads your criteria and point values, then feeds them back to students in rubric language — the same words you’d circle on a paper copy.
Matched to the assignment
A DBQ isn’t a 5-paragraph essay. An AP Lit response isn’t an AP Lang argument. GradeWithAI adapts to the assignment — scoring sourcing on a DBQ, sophistication on AP Lit, partial credit on math, and synthesis on AP Lang.
You stay the teacher of record
Every grade is a draft until you release it. Override a score, rewrite a comment, or regrade a student with extra context. Students never see a grade you didn’t approve.
FAQ
Questions about AI grading
- Which AI grader should I pick?
- Pick by what you're grading. Teaching an AP course? Start with the AP Essay Grader — it covers Lang, Lit, APUSH, AP World, LEQs, and DBQs on College Board rubrics. Grading general essays or writing? Use the Essay Grading or Writing Grader. Mixed tests and short answers? Test Grading or SAQ Grader. Each tool applies the rubric students are actually scored against, so feedback lines up with how the work will be graded.
- How accurate is AI grading?
- Accuracy depends on two things: the rubric quality and the grader's alignment to it. GradeWithAI grades against your rubric and assignment context — not a generic scoring model — and every grade is reviewed by you before going back to students. In practice, teachers treat the AI pass as a consistent first draft that matches what they'd score by hand, then adjust edge cases before returning work.
- What is the best AI grader for teachers?
- The best AI grader is the one matched to your assignment — a general essay grader will underweight AP-specific moves like sourcing or sophistication, and an AP-only tool won't handle a standard 5-paragraph writing assignment well. The tools on this page are purpose-built per assignment type, subject, and AP course rubric so you don't have to force a generic grader to do the wrong job.
- What is the difference between the Essay Grader and the Writing Grader?
- Essay Grading focuses on thesis, evidence, and analysis for argumentative or analytical essays. Writing Grader uses a 6+1 traits-style rubric (ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, conventions) designed for narrative, descriptive, or expository writing across grade levels. If you're grading a literary-analysis essay, use Essay Grading; if you're scoring a 5th-grade narrative, use Writing Grader.
- Can I use my own rubric with any of these graders?
- Yes. Every grader accepts your own rubric — upload it, paste it, or edit the AI-generated starting rubric. Criteria and point values stay under your control, and feedback quotes the exact rubric language so students see what they're being scored against.
- Does AI grading work on handwritten or scanned student work?
- Yes. Upload a scan, a phone photo, or a PDF and the grader reads the handwriting — print, cursive, or mixed — identifies the student, and applies the rubric. This works across every grader on this page, including math and history DBQ graders where students show work on paper.
