    How Grade My Writing works

    Whether you're an IELTS candidate, a GCSE student, or an English teacher with a class to grade — here's how to get the most out of the app.

    Who it's for

    Task 1 & Task 2 with official May 2023 band descriptors.

    IGCSE ESL students

    Cambridge 0510/0511 Content + Language marking.

    TOEFL & PTE learners

    Use General mode — same academic rubric, 0–100 score.

    Cambridge B2 / C1

    Formal academic writing assessment and lexical upgrades.

    GCSE & A-Level English

    Argumentative, descriptive, and discursive essays.

    AP Lang & SAT essay

    Position, evidence, and rhetorical control feedback.

    IB English & EAP

    Extended essays and university-level academic writing.

    ESL/EFL teachers

    Share with students for instant rubric-aligned feedback.

    Writing coaches & editors

    Structured criterion feedback plus Band 9 rewrites.

    Get the best results in 4 steps

    1. 1

      Pick your mode

      IELTS, IGCSE, or General. General mode reports an academic score out of 100 and works for any essay-style writing.

    2. 2

      Paste the writing question (optional but recommended)

      Adding the prompt lets the AI judge Task Achievement accurately and auto-detect word limits.

    3. 3

      Paste your essay — or upload a photo

      Typed text or a phone photo of handwriting both work. OCR runs automatically on images.

    4. 4

      Read your report

      Score, criterion breakdown, error corrections, a top-band rewrite, and Lexical Engine vocabulary upgrades.

    Pro tips

    • Always paste the prompt — it unlocks accurate Task Achievement scoring and per-exam word-count rules.
    • Use General mode for TOEFL, GCSE, AP Lang, university essays, and any non-IELTS academic writing.
    • Add a Custom Rubric (General mode) when grading against your school or class marking criteria.
    • Open the Lexical Engine tab to see weak-word → Band 9 upgrades across your whole submission history.
    • Use the Print / Save as PDF button to share the report with students or keep for records.
