How to check an essay with RubricMark
Mark a draft you wrote, or mark the passages to rethink in a draft an AI wrote. Use the mode that matches who produced the words.
Two checks, two jobs
The same page has two modes. They do not do the same thing, and you should not use them as substitutes.
- Mark your essay. You wrote the draft. You paste or upload it and receive scores for each criterion, with comments tied to your sentences. This is the check to use after an LNAT practice essay or another piece you produced.
- Check an AI draft. An AI wrote the report or note. The page highlights claims, numbers, and gaps to question. It does not score the draft and it does not turn that draft into your essay.
If you wrote it, use Mark. If a model wrote it, use Critical thinking, then write your own answer before you ask for marks.
Mark an essay you wrote
- Open Mark your essay.
- Paste the finished draft, or upload the file. Include the prompt if you have it, so the comments sit against the question you were answering.
- Submit and wait for the report. Read the criterion scores, then the comments on particular sentences.
- Pick one weak paragraph. Rewrite that paragraph yourself. Do not start a new essay until that paragraph answers the comment.
- On a later day, write a new prompt without the report open.
The useful part of the report is a sentence you can find in your own writing. A comment you cannot point to on the page is a comment to set aside.
Critical thinking on a draft an AI wrote
- Open Check an AI draft.
- Paste the report, summary, or research note. A short purpose line helps (“notes I might cite”, “a briefing”).
- Read the marked passages. Typical problems are a number with no source, a result claimed for every group, and a conclusion that is wider than the reason.
- Decide what you still need to look up. Then close the draft and write the paragraph in your own words.
Do not submit that AI draft for a mark and treat the score as yours. Marks belong on writing you produced. Critical thinking is there so you notice what you should not trust before you use it.
A short loop for Section B
- Plan for five minutes and write for the rest of the 40, using the writing method.
- Mark that draft.
- Rewrite the paragraph the report could quote against you.
- Choose a new prompt in essay practice and write it clean.
If you used a model to draft a plan, run that plan through Critical thinking first. Then write the essay without it on screen.
