How does Essay Grader evaluate my work?

By default, Essay Grader's specially trained machine learning model grades your work using a marking criteria designed by Studyable, which aligns with criteria often used by high schools for academic essays.

You can also add your own marking criteria, which will then be used instead of the default criteria. We recommend having a clear distinction between each criteria level for more accurate results.

Are my essays used to train AI models or shared?

We do not save any user content submitted to Essay Grader, and content is not used to train or improve our machine learning models. This means work you submit will not be flagged for plagiarism as a result of using Essay Grader. We do save and review feedback generated by Essay Grader for quality evaluation purposes.

Why was the grade from Essay Grader higher/lower than my actual grade?

Essay Grader uses machine learning trained to evaluate your essay in accordance with the marking criteria as accurately as possible. However, due to the subjective nature of essays and writing in general, human markers may award marks and feedback which differ from Essay Grader.

Why do I get different grades when submitting the same essay?

While we aim for Essay Grader to be as deterministic and consistent as possible, similarly to human markers your results can vary when being graded by AI. However, usually grades are within a similar range. We recommend paying most attention to the written feedback and suggestions given, rather than simply the numerical grade.
