How it works
Paste your essay response (or type it directly) into the grader. The AI reads your response against the College Board rubric for your specific essay type and returns: a point-by-point breakdown of which criteria you earned, which you missed, and why — the same feedback a human AP reader would provide, in about 30 seconds.
