Choose a rubric (or go freeform), set the grade level, and add any instructions. Hit Grade and let Scorae evaluate the response for depth and reasoning — not just correctness.
Get a clear breakdown of the response, with feedback that reflects how well the student actually understands the material. Edit anything, then copy it into your gradebook. You stay in control.
The steps are simple. What matters is how a response is evaluated.
A correct answer doesn't always mean real understanding. In a world where students can look up almost anything in seconds, the question that matters is whether they can think for themselves. Scorae was built around that distinction.
Instead of treating all correct answers the same, Scorae looks at how a response is constructed. A strong response is:
"Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to make food. It happens in the leaves and produces oxygen."
"Plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. This matters because it's the base of most food chains — without it, energy wouldn't flow from the sun to the rest of the ecosystem."
What used to take a weekend takes an evening. Scorae does the heavy lifting on each response so you can focus on the students who actually need your attention.
Scorae is free. No card, no trial, no per-student fees, and no premium tier holding features back.
Scorae drafts feedback grounded in the student's actual writing. You stay in control of every word that reaches your gradebook, every time.
Quickly distinguish between responses that are technically correct and those that show genuine understanding, so your grading captures how students are actually thinking.
Every grade includes an originality read on the student's writing — flagging responses that look pasted or generated, with the reasoning behind the flag, so you can follow up early.
Highlight text in Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, or Google Docs. For everything else, paste the text, upload a PDF, Word doc, or .txt file — or just take a screenshot. Handwritten and paper submissions included.
Build a rubric once — criteria, points, descriptions — and reuse it with one click, or grade freeform. Scorae applies your criteria the same way every time, across every student.
Feedback adapts to the student's level — from early learners to college writing — so expectations for depth and explanation are always appropriate for the grade you teach.
Student work is processed and immediately discarded — no grading history exists to leak from shared school devices. You always see exactly what's sent before it goes anywhere. Read the full technical breakdown →
Every feature, for every teacher: rubrics, originality checks, grade-level calibration, all input methods. No card, no trial.
A fair-use daily limit applies, so one account can't overload Scorae for everyone else.
