AI essay grader FAQs
How does the AI essay grader work?
Choose your level and essay type, paste your essay and the assignment prompt if you have one. The essay grader scores five rubric areas from 1 to 5, gives an overall grade, and checks your essay sentence by sentence, explaining what to fix and how.
Can it rate my essay or grade my paper?
Yes. Paste any essay or paper and it rates each part of the rubric, gives an overall score, and lists your next revision steps. It works as an essay checker too, pointing to the exact sentences that lose marks.
Is the essay grader free?
Yes. A free account can grade 3 essays a day with the full rubric and the top 3 comments. Premium grades up to 100 essays a day with up to 12 comments each.
Will the essay grader write or rewrite my essay?
No. Like a writing coach, it explains what to improve and how, so you make the changes in your own words. It won't write sentences, paragraphs or a thesis for you. That keeps your work yours, and it's how you get better at writing.
What does the feedback include?
A score from 1 to 5 for each part of the rubric (thesis and focus, evidence and support, analysis and reasoning, structure and flow, clarity, style and grammar), what's working and what to improve for each, comments on specific sentences from your essay, and your next revision steps in order.
Is my essay saved?
No. Your essay is sent to our AI provider to create the feedback and isn't saved in your StudyCoach account. Close the page and it's gone, so keep your own copy.
What kinds of essays does it work for?
Argumentative and persuasive essays, literary and text analysis, expository essays, research papers, narrative and personal essays and college application essays, from middle school to college. Choose your level so the scores match what's expected of you.
Can AI feedback be wrong?
Yes. AI can misjudge an argument or miss something your teacher cares about. Treat it like feedback from a study partner, and follow your teacher's rubric and instructions where they differ.
